I bought two avocados in order to transform them in a delicious guacamole for my birthday party, but I was short on time and they are still sitting in the fruit jar.

Any ideas to incorporate them in my diet this week ?

    An avocado and chilli salad. Chuck in a variety of leaf, chunks of avocado, and a dressing made from lime juice and chilli

    Why not make guacamole anyway? Just without the Olive oil - I don't think it's all that important.

    I like grilling them alongside chicken and pineapples for a fun flavor packed dinner!

    one quarter avocado frozen
    one half medium banana frozen
    1/4 almond milk (or your liquid of choice)
    blend together = delicious soft serve frozen yogurt
    I like to add pumpkin seeds to mine for some crunch :)

    I just made a salad with a bunch of aragula, a diced avocado and a handful of cherry tomatoes (homegrown, so proud of them ! ;) ), and I mixed sambal oelek and lime juice for the dressing.

    It was fabulous ! Thank you much for the suggestion. :)

    Exactly this! I usually just make mine with salt, pepper and garlic.

    You could also cut it in half, pop the seed out,
    then sprinkle a touch of salt, and some black
    pepper on it. Attack with a spoon.

    I use mushed avocado in my sandwiches in place of mayo.

    I used to add avocado to my cheese burgers (home made). Probably not a healthy choice but I suppose it could be turned healthy if you use non-beef patties and add in lettuce and tomatoes to it.

    Make a chocolate milkshake out of them. Trust me..

    I usually put half an avocado, a cup of almond milk, a tablespoon or two of Stevia in the raw, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a few drops of vanilla extract, and some ice in a blender.. you barely taste the avocado but have the thickest, creamiest chocolate shake imagineable for way less calories than a regular chocolate shake!

    Put 1/2 of an avocado in scrambled eggs with reduced fat cheese and about 1 tsp of salsa

    I love to mash a bit of avocado in my sandwiches! Turkey, spinach, avocado, pepper, mustard. So bomb!

    The other day I blended an avocado with some cilantro and spices, then used it as a mayo substitute in chicken salad.

    AMAZING!

    Use them in a sandwich with lettuce. Or I like them plain with just a little Kraft Caesar Italian Fat-Free dressing on them. I live in Hawaii so we have lots of avocados and I eat them several times a week.

    who puts olive oil in guacamole?


    All you need for guacamole is mashed avocado, onions, tomatoes, jalapeno/habanero/insert random chili type peppers here, and some lemon juice.
