    Got this from a guy named Olly Foster, so credit to him:

    A Brazilian friend of mine recently made me a milkshake made of avocado. Avocado of all things and it was absolutely incredible!

    1 ripe avocado
    A handful of crushed ice
    Sweetener to taste (though my friend did use sugar, so this is a healthier alternative)
    A small cup of coconut (or try almond) milk

    Seriously try it guys, its absolutely delicious and full of healthy muscle building fats!

    Gotta say, I was expecting this to be nasty... Well, how wrong I am! And thankfully!

    I used a bit more than a handful of crushed ice... so then I had to add about 1 full cup (8 oz) of unsweetened vanilla almond milk -- my avocado (just the flesh) weighed in at 80 grams. I added Stevia in the Raw and it turned out more like a sorbet than a milkshake. I squeezed half a lime into the cup (NutriBlender) and mixed that in. Oh, YUM!

    I'm going to take the road less traveled here and recommend avocado pudding. Take half an avocado, 1-2 tbs cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and a little honey or Splenda. Mash it, mix it up, and top with mini chocolate chips if you'd like. You can also add some sort of milk for a creamier texture.

    I do this but I add a ripe banana which means you don't have to add any other sweetener. Yum! I've never even tasted the avocado when I do this... but my friend who must have SUPER taste buds said she could taste the avocado... but she tastes even the subtlist of flavors in everything.

    Never tried it before but going to pick one up on Monday when I go food shopping. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Don't eat meat though :)

    Crispy bacon, sliced avocado and tomato sandwich.
