I think I need more good fats in my diet. How do you like to eat avocados?

    Sliced on a sandwich and on tacos.

    An easy way to prepare them is to cut in half; rotating the knife around the pit. Then slide a spoon between the skin and flesh to scoop each half out. This a way easier then peeling them.

    I will take one and mash it with some garlic and sea salt and little lemon or lime juice and eat it with corn chip not to many though
    also i take half mash it up and spread it on a sprouted wrap i only eat half the wrap also and sprinkle a little sea salt on top
    Put it in your smoothies your salads your turkey tacos

    Oh and Coconut oil is a good thing to bring into your diet for a good fat
    and i use it to cook with out in my shakes on toast or even just eat it off a spoon but dont by CHEAP coconut oil and i ony buy Organic but thats all i buy any thing as

    oh, I should try tacos! I mash them up and use them in place of mayo on a turkey sandwich occasionally.

    If you eat eggs:

    1 avocado
    1-2 Hard Boiled Eggs
    Salt and Pepper
    Optional: Spash of Greek Yogurt
    Onion

    When I used to eat dairy/eggs, this was one of my favorite lunches.
    All put into a whole wheat wrap with sprouts, tomato, etc...

    Umm..almost anyway? They are great cubed into vegan corn chowder, or mashed onto a toasted bagel with cheese and tomato. I love guacamole tacos....
    Here's a great salad idea:
    Big bowl of mixed salad greens(whatever you like: spinach, spring greens, romaine, etc.)
    1/2 cup cranberry delight trail mix(cranberries with seeds and almonds)
    1 large avocado, cubed
    1 sliced or cubed cucumber
    a few sliced mini sweet peppers
    Raspberry vinaigrette(light or regular)
    Mix it up and serve, its delish! To make a more complete meal, we eat it with salmon or chicken, but it can be a lighter meal on its own.

    Oh thank you, this looks right up my alley!

    And thanks to the posters reminding me about tuna.. I have added it to tuna in the past but forgot about it!

    Avocado slices on toast spread with cream cheese and topped with a tomato.

    Or, in a mixed salad.

    Or, mash with tomato and a spritz of lemon for a simple guacamole.

    i use it instead of butter. i eat 1/2 every morning spread a little on my whole wheat toast and then just scoop out the rest and eat with a spoon. YUM! or chop it up and throw it into a salad.

    nuts are also very healthy fats too; same with olive oil. make your own dressing with olive oil/apple cider vinegar

    I only just at 1/2 at a time... so eating one whole avocado daily isn't too much fat? (I'm trying to lose about 18 pounds). I realize it's healthy fat but I just get a little confused with how I"m supposed to balance my fats.

    Thanks.
