    Avocado wake up call

    Posts: 94 Member
    edited January 25 in Food and Nutrition
    So I never ate an avocado in my life. I was kinda of afraid to eat one because my hubby hates them and told me I would hate them to. So I just stayed away from them. I have been seeing an avocado craze spring up and was curious, but still didn't try them. was at a friends of mine house and she had an avocado and cut it up for all of us for part of our dinner so I tried it. I could not believe it, it was not bad at all. In fact it tasted good with a piece of it and a bit of food together. I can do this. So I am thinking I am going to start buying avocados and start adding them to my meals. I know avocados are very good for you so there is no going wrong there.
    My friend also taught me that night to add olive oil in the place of butter. You know what you really don't miss the butter at all and the olive oil is so good for you. Amazing what we can learn and try that betters ourselves :wink: :happy:

      I love them, and they are the perfect filler on those days when I am having difficulty reaching the correct amount of calories.

      How have you LIVED?!? I loooooove avocados! Seriously, I could eat them every day and not get tired of them, there's so much you can do with them!

      Dice them and toss them in salads
      Slice them with a little oil & vinegar
      Mash them with lime and cayenne for guacamole
      Blend them with some buttermilk and spices for some creamy dressing
      Half them and put them on the grill then fill with insalata caprese
      Batter them with egg, flour, & panko and fry them

      Oh the things you can do! Welcome to the wonderful world of Avocado! :smile:

      Have you tried avocado spaghetti? Instead of sauce you use avocado. Mmmmmmm.

      I've seen a recipe blending avocado with coco powder and maple syrup to make a chocolate mousse, it sounds interesting but I can't bring myself to waste a beautiful avocado to try it out! Anyone tried it and is it worth it?

      Not worth it. I was disappointed. Avocado and chocolate are two delicious foods that should be enjoyed separately, IMO!

      We LOVE avocados. We eat them on toast with a little salt, they're SO good in place of mayo on a sandwich / burger, chopped into a salad, mixed into salsa for nachos, mashed and made into guac, or to top off baked salmon... oh yum!
      I eat them daily!

      I have only just discovered them this year as well, and O.M.G! Mashed and warmed on toast is pretty much perfection. Sliced into some cuban style black beans, perfection, topping a salad, perfection...

      An amazing food.

      My life has been enriched

      dont mean to make ya all jealous, but i have a a big - no HUGE - avo tree in my back garden. :happy:

      my fave way of eating avo is with cracked pepper, a dash salt and a squeeze of lime. mmm!
      a sweet fave is skim milk, avo, a bit of sugar or honey, zhoosh it up the processor and voila! sooo good!!

      Love avocados too, I put them in my smoothie in the morning.
      You can also use them as a spread on sandwiches.
      Its a healthy fat, but be careful not to overdue.

      Um, huh?

      I'm still stuck on your hubby telling you what you would like to eat.

      Clearly your husband has defective taste buds. Branch out more often. Avocados are the best!

      yes. I take it personally when none of the ones at the store are ready to eat.

      My favorite way to eat an avocado is simply to pit it and then fill the cavity with Italian dressing. I scoop out spoonfuls of avocado from the inside out and the dressing runs off my spoonful back into the cavity. The dressing lasts long enough for me to get a little on each spoonful of avocado.

      I'm sad when it's over. Haha. :)
