    I have just added plain tuna on wheat for lunch. I was trying to think of something to put with it. Avocado, I never thought of that, but will give it a try.

    I add Avacado and McCormick's guacamole seasoning mix to chicken salad. Can be eaten over lettuce leaves or whole grain bread.

    This is the best alfredo I have had in a long time. If you are going low carb, use spaghetti squash instead.

    I love her site, appreciate the reminder! That's exactly what came to mind when I saw the photo as well, swapping it up for spaghetti squash.:wink:
    I love fresh avocado.

    Vegetarian Avocado and Veggie Wrap:
    fresh avocado
    red, orange, and yellow sweet bell peppers
    onion
    garlic
    red pepper
    fresh spinach
    lite cream cheese
    low calorie/low carb tortilla

    Sautee peppers, onion and garlic with olive oil spray
    Spread about 1tbsp cream cheese on tortilla
    Sprinkle red pepper over the cream cheese
    add onion, peppers, avocado and spinach
    wrap and eat!

    One wrap is about 250 calories.
    Your wrap idea sounds divine, I just finished off an avocado I purchased earlier in the week. Love those things but don't buy them often enough, this thread is full of wonderful tips!

    Thanks everyone:drinker:

    ETA: Also for those that have asked in the past here's something I found on the Haas Avo site:

    "Trying to save that mashed or cut avocado but don’t have lemon or lime juice? Orange juice, grapefruit juice and vinegar can all help keep your cut avocado greener for longer. Just be sure to keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge."

    I hadn't realized there were so many options!

    A little extreme, but it makes a great raw pudding. Puree with agave, cocoa camino, coconut oil and vanilla, chill for a great vegan/raw treat.

    I recently ate a chocolate truffle made from avocado. It was delicious.
