    I used to dislike avocados' texture, but I'm a convert. Last weekend my wife made a cucumber-avocado soup while I was putting together a bean-chickpea salad and pickling some beets. It was rich, creamy, yummy, and very healthy.

    I love avocado on salads and black bean burgers and sometimes alone as a snack. I've got some on the counter just waiting to be made into guacamole later. :)

    I love avocado so much, I eat that with almost everything!! In my sandwiches, my tacos, my burritos, along with my carne asada, my guac, by itself with salt and lime, rolled up in a corn tortilla with crumbled up queso fresco, smushed on toast with lime and Valentina hot sauce (which btw, the hot sauce also goes with everything :smiley: )... breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!
    :yum:

    Avocado half + roasted sweet potato = heaven on a plate (ymmv).

    Ok, you have GOT to post the recipe for that soup ... it sounds delicious!

    I love them. I made a cucumber/tomato/avocado salad last night and have been chowing down on it. It's perfect for summer. I also like to eat them spread on toast instead of butter.

    I know avocados are high in fat and calories...and the carbs are meh...but I know they are super good for you...
    Is it worth all the calories and fat???
    I love avocados but why are they so high in fat/calories
    What do you guys think about avocados?

    http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1843/2

    there is nothing wrong with dietary fat...it is an essential macro-nutrient...and avocados are chalk full of heart healthy monounsaturated fats...and beyond that, caloric density has nothing to do with nutritional quality. Avocados are a nutritional powerhouse as are numerous other, calorie dense foods like nuts, etc...

    I eat 1/2 an avocado pretty much every day...and really, it's not all that great of a calorie bomb...it's like 100 calories or something.

    I love avocado drinks ( half avocado and half water + a bit of sugar + a lot of ice or just put it in the freezer to make ice cream) or just eat it with a spoon
