I have never ever tried Avacado before but am planning on getting some my next grocery shopping trip. I really want to expand our vegetables! What is your favorite way to eat/prepare an avacado aside from guacamole?

I love mixing avocado with tuna, pepper, onion powder, tbs of hot sauce and low fat mayo. Spread it on a baked tostada..or on wheat bread.0

Baked chicken breast with avocado and skim mozzarella cheese in oven until cheese melts....with a salad or steamed veggies.0

Half an avacado with 1/2 Cup of low fat cottage cheese...yummm!0

Spread it on toast, top with sliced tomato, salt/pepper, and fresh basil ! (or skip the basil if you don't have it!). Just avo and tomato is amazing!!!
You could even add feta to this, or bocconcini ..0 -
My favorite way is just cut it in half take out the seed and eat it raw. I put it in salads as well to give more substance, tastes good with any kind of dressing. I also mash it up and use it as spreads for sandwhiches and turkey burgers instead of mayo.0

Just had grilled tilipia, mango salsa and diced avocado. It was amazing.0

cut it open and eat with a spoon is my favorite. It goes great with eggs, or use it instead of mayo on a burger, chicken or turkey sandwich or instead of mayo in chicken salad (shredded chicken, cilantro, maybe some onion and some lime juice) spread it on some flat bread. Condensed milk and avocado smoothies, you can also make ice cream with it
The lime juice is important if you don't eat it right away, it will turn brown and gross looking when exposed to air, if you don't finish it put it in a tupperware, cover with lime juice and press plastic wrap down on it leaving no air then put the lid on
ETA Guac is my least favorite ways to eat it, most guacamoles are not that good, Chipotle has the best guac of any sort of chain I've had, I've even gone there to just get the chips and guac0 -
I use it on everything...On sandwich's (instead of mayo) it give's that creamy texture. Salads with some vinegar. In tuna salad...whatever you just have to do a little experimenting with it. I love them I could eat them with nothing at all.0

Half an avocado, plain greek yogurt (4T'ish), clove of garlic, chia seeds (1T), a little sea salt...let it set a bit and boom! Yummy dip high in protein.0

Besides using slices of avacado in my turkey and fish sandwiches.i use avacado as a salad dressing, i use non fat plain greek yogurt, avacado, roasted garlic and black pepper and very little lemon or lime and blend together till creamy and toss in a salad or use it in place of mayo for sandwiches or chicken or tuna salad.0

I scoop out the middle to save for later and put a small egg in the whole, baked for 20 minutes and eat it. So yummy!!0

Did you ever get that ice-cream?0 -
I always use avocado instead of mayo on sandwiches.0

I slice it thinly, peel the skin off, season lightly with nature's seasoning and chow down!0

I just eat it as is. I like it chopped up in a salad too0

Cut it in half, remove the seed.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Bon Apetit!0 -

I usually just eat it because it tastes wonderful as is. My mom makes delicious avocado bubble teas, a low calorie and sugar version, so you may want to try that.0

That made me feel very hungry!0 -
I saw on dr oz how pairing avocado and oranges (or any citrus) is a great belly slimming combo. The mufas in the avocado are anti-inflammyatory and are known to reduce fat storage in the belly, and citrus helps reduce cortisol. The nutritionist on there said it was so good together and convinced me to try it. It's pretty darn good!
Slim Belly Salad:
Cut and slice 1 avocado
Peel and separate 3 oranges
Lightly toss with a TBL olive oil (another mufa) and a dash of salt
Add grilled chicken for protein and prolonged satiety0 -
I mash them up with some chilli powder and spread them on a wholewheat toasted bagel. Soooo good!
I should probably join Avocado Addicts Anonymous because I usually eat a small one every day.0 -
Just to be a total jerk: Avocados are fruits (and magical!)0

The big Mexican I am I have it w/ 'Pico de Gallo'
which is pretty much: chopped tomato, onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon not lime,limejuice, just lemon. A bit of salt
Add it to carne asada, tacos, etc.etc.etc0 -
