    On average I eat 1/4 of an avocado a day... some days it's more.

    My favorite ways are as follows:

    -Mixed in fat free cottage cheese with tomatoes, onions, and pepper.
    -Sliced and put on Everything Bagel thins, topped with a fried egg (or egg whites), tomato slices and sauteed spinach
    -Taco dip (ground beef, taco seasoning, plain fat free Greek yogurt, diced tomato, lime juice and reduced fat Mexican cheese blend) with homemade tortilla chips (made with flatout wraps)
    -Tossed in a salad with boiled eggs, shrimp and crab meat

    I like to have just slices of avocadoes but I don't usually want to eat the whole avocado at once....my problem is keeping it to stay fresh...it turns brown really quickly for me. I've tried to leave the pit in the other half...I heard that helps it. Anyone like to share their suggestions??

    Sprinkle the part you are not using with lime juice and wrap tightly. Turns a little brown but not nearly as bad if I don't use the lime juice.

    Save the other half of peel and put it back on before you wrap it in plastic.

    My 5 month old baby likes homemade Avocado baby food (I just pureed it with water in the food processor).

    Here's my favorite excerpt from John Thorne's book Outlaw Cook:

    "How to Eat an Avocado (you think you know how, but you don't).
    First of all, it must be a perfectly ripe Hass avocado (small, dark green, and with an alligator's crumply skin). Cut it in half and gently pop out the seed. Set each half, cut side up, in a shallow bowl. Now, in a separate dish, mix together (for every two halves) about a spoonful of olive oil, a good squeeze of fresh lime, a few drops of Tabasco, and a pinch of coarse salt. Mix this well and dribble a fair share into each avocado half. Now fall to, eating the avocado out of its skin with a teaspoon, catching a bit of the dressing with each bite. A little buttered bread is good with this; the oil and lime juice can be further enhanced, if you like, with a morsel of crushed garlic and, instead of the Tabasco, a sprinkle of powdered cayenne. God didn't make the avocado just for guacamole."

    I also like to add a little cumin, chili powder, black pepper or cilantro sometimes :smile:

    I LOVE avocado's.

    My fav way is just 1/2 avocado on toast with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Or, 1 can of tuna with 1/2 avocado and squeeze of lemon juice.

    I've also tried avocado ice cream - I don't know what was in it, but somehow it was delicious!

    I could live off of avocado's..

    I usually just put one in my pocket and bring it to the bar with me. Chicks dig dudes that rock avocados during last call.

    I'll cook chorizo and potatoes, make divets in the potatoes with a spoon so I can crack an egg into it and layer it with avocado.

    Hate them in sandwiches

    Love them with eggs

    Maybe try this some time:

    Two pieces of bread, one with almond butter
    Sauteed Kale or spinach in coconut oil
    Put the sauteed spinach/Kale on the bread and use half an avocado to layer it
    Make sandwich

    Also known as, The Renergy Sandwich v1 (feel free to google it)

    i saw a recipe and made an avocado pasta salad, it's really yummy.. just mash the avocado and mix it with cooked pasta.. add some lemon juice, olive oil and pepper. it's really good and healthy. however, the only thing i hate is that avocado doesn't last long.. they ripe so fast and can't store in the fridge for long

    I love Avocados as well as my kids and friends.

    1. Sliced on chicken or turkey burgers
    2. In turkey wraps with bacon bits
    3. in lettuce salads, or cobb salad with bacon and hard boiled eggs
    4. Avocado Citrus Salad
    5. On Fish tacos

    and of course Guacamole!

    I like it just on one of those nopal corn tortillas. Heat up the tortilla (only 20 calories) and spread the avocado, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt and just enjoy. Love my avocado only tacos.
