    I wanted to post the same question - so thanks! I just saw a recipe where you whip 1 avocado with 1/2 cup plain yogurt and serve it with Sweet Potato Chili - "Sweet Potato Chili with Avocado Cream" - I can't wait to try this!

    I like to sprinkle them with celery salt and eat them out of the rind.

    Mash up some avocado with finely chopped dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper and scoop it on top of some broiled salmon. Sounds weird but SO good. Also super delish in salds, wraps and sandwiches.

    Throw lemon juice on them! I also add them straight into chicken soup with some lemon juice. Yum!

    What can't you do with an avocado??

    Use it instead of mayo.. on just abuot anything including egg salad and deviled eggs!
    Homemade salsa
    Mix with cheese and use on salad
    Wrap it a slice of turkey for a quick protein packed snack
    egg topping paired with salsa is awesome!
    I put in on burgers, sandwiches, wraps, eggs, salads..
    Put it in your protein shake.
    Fry them like fries

    or just eat it straight or with lemon or honey drizzled on it.


    Edit..
    That chocolate avocado pudding sounds AMAZING! it's going on my need to try soon list!

    You can make a nice salad, and use lime or lemon juice as the dressing.
    I make mine with the Avocado, tomato, red onion, and chives(sometimes) and then squeeze a fresh lemon or lime over it, toss it, and then a little salt and pepper. Simple, fast and soooooo damn tasty.

    I spread mine on my sandwiches in Lieu of mayo. I try to include it in most of my lunches somehow. I put it in my tacos too. I put it in salad dressing to thicken and richen them up. If you are a pinterest person, there are a ton of things to do with Avacados on there. There was one on there to treat it like a potato skin with parmasan and stuff and bake it. This is the good kind of fat, filling and good for us woman, so don't shy away from it as a fat content.

    I put them on low-cal wraps with low carb high fiber wraps. Sometimes with chicken or turkey, sometimes with shrimp. Can add lowfat mayo or neufchatel cheese or vanilla or honey Greek yogurt, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, cheeses, dried cranberries, herbs and spices as desired --whatever you like on your sandwich and throw in 1/4 avocado, sliced. Very yummy. Or add them to a hamburger or serve over your favorite pasta dish. Yumm, yumm, yummy!
