    I've never eaten one before either - would it "go" in a smoothie, d'ya think?

    I love avocado and I like to just take the pit out and put a little salt on it...tastes buttery and yummy to me. BUT last week I got this smoothie recipe out of a magazine and I made it..IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!

    Avocado& Banana Smoothie

    1 avocado
    1 banana
    1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
    1 1/2 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup honey
    2-3 cups of ice

    Blend together til smooth and it serves 4.

    It was so good..my son who says guacamole and avocado are "yucky" drank this smoothie like it was going out of style it was soooo good.

    I mean, eat it, obviously. But I've never had one before. Do I eat it raw? Steam it? I keep reading how people love them. How do you eat yours?

    Just remember it has to be slightly soft to the touch. If theavacado is still firm it is not ripe. When you squeeze it it should give just a bit.

    I like to mash it and use it as a spread or mixed instead of mayonaise with tuna.
