    Avocado smoothies are delicious. A little protein powder, half an avocado, some milk and ice, blend. You can add banana, too. Really yummy.

    I found this on Pinterest:

    Avocado Hummus

    1. Add the following to your food processor:
    -1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
    -1 avocado, cubed
    -juice from 1/2 of a lime
    -1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of olive oil (a lower fat option: substitute oil for juice from the beans)
    -1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    -1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2. Blend until smooth.... EASY AS THAT!

    Love the sound of this...have to try

    I eat a raw, plain avacodo for my dinner a couple times a week. Just cut it in half, salt it, and eat it out of the peel with a spoon! I love it.

    Also, I like to slice it up, slice up a tomato (or use cherub tomatoes) and mix it up with a can of garbanzo beans. Add a tablespoon of Italian dressing...voila! 1/2 for now, 1/2 for tomorrow. It's super filling, high in protein, high in fiberm, simple, and delicious.

    I discovered a recent love of these and here are some things I do with it. These of course are when it is mashed and spreadable or in guac form.

    1. On veggie burger (but hear turkey burger and salmon burger good too)
    2. With tuna and veggies in pita
    3. On turkey sandwich
    4. In soups instead of sour cream
    5. Mash and put in salad instead of dressing
    6. On bagel as a spread...just bagel and avacado...sooooo good
    7. With egg whites on english muffin
    8. In grits with shrimp (weird, but so good)

    Welcome to the avacado lovers party :)

    I saw this recipe on pinterest and had to try it. It was amazing!

    http://morselsandmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/grilled-avocado-w-melted-cheese-hot.html

    You just cut the avocado in half, take out the stone and make a criss-cross cut with a knife so the sauces can penetrate. Cover in lime juice and chipotle tabasco, then add parmesan cheese and broil. It is awesome.

    I like to smash it up just enough to use it as a spread (thickly!) on sandwiches, especially grilled chicken!

    I like adding thick slices to grilled chicken wraps/sandwiches. No need for mayo/mustard!

    yep! or on toast with a dash of salt!

    I'm naughty and enjoy it with BLTs. It's also tasty with eggs and salsa and with turkey sandwiches or wraps.

    I am unsure if you like fish, but I guess it could be made with chicken or vegetables...
    For Christmas Eve, my family cooks a purely Italian fish dinner and one of the dishes my father makes is a shrimp salad stuffed into half an avocado and spoon Louie sauce over it.. I do not have the secret recipe but I found one online.. it is delicious!!
    Louis Sauce:

    1 cup mayonnaise

    1/4 cup heavy cream, whisked to soft peaks

    1/2 cup chili sauce

    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    1 teaspoon hot sauce

    2 teaspoons lemon juice

    1 teaspoon grated onion

    1/4 cup minced green bell pepper

    1 teaspoon minced garlic

    1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    Pinch freshly ground black pepper

    Whisk the first 10 ingredients together in a medium bowl and chill until ready to serve. It will keep covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
