    I love avocados! When I have hard boiled eggs in fridge I'll quarter one or two (sometimes removing the yolks), do the same for avocado, sprinke on salt and pepper, and drizzle a little olive oil over it. It's great breakfasat that is very filling.

    My skin seems to look healthier if I eat avocados consistently.

    Sliced avocado on whole meal toast with either poached or scrambled eggs on top is a great breakfast.

    I make pico de gallo/salsa with 1 small tomato, chopped red or green onion, 2 serrano peppers (hot), a good amount of cilantro, fresh lime juice, and 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic, 1/4 avocado, approx 1/4 cup low sodium v-8 juice. I spray with Pam , 2-4 corn tortillas and broil till crispy in my toaster oven. Mix it all in a bowl. serve with broken tortillas and celery sticks. The fresh garlic is crazy healthy for you, fighting viruses and bacteria and a lot more. The cilantro has been proven to cleanse the blood of heavy metals like mercury. All ingredients are super healthy. If I have a high amount of calories left to consume due to a lot of exercise, I up the avocado to 1/2. The fat in the avocado helps to absorb nutrients. I eat this almost every day or other day as a kind of health "tonic".

    I also make this recipe so yummy.

    Whenever I have steamed tilapia I make a topping to cover my tilapia.

    I fried in olive oil chopped tomatoes, green peppers, white or red onions, add a little bit of salt and some lime, then add chopped cilantro and then add 1/2 avocado cut in small cubes. Remove from heat and put it on top of your tilapia. Not sure if it's healthy but is so delicious.

    I eat this all the time:

    Cut an avocado in half and take the stone out. Cut slits in the flesh both ways. drizzle on some lime juice and chipotle tabasco then fill the pits with a little parmesan cheese and stick the halves under the broiler for a minute. Once the cheese in the pits is melty take them out and cover them both with more parmesan and stick them back under the broiler for a couple more minutes till the tops starts to get brown. Then top with more chipotle tobasco, eat it with a spoon, and thank me later.

    I got that recipe from pinterest and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

    Another great way to eat them: grilled with a little salt (I love J&R's Bacon Salt - vegetarian, low-sodium heaven) and some lime juice OR a sprinkle of shredded parmesan.

    My favorite lunch at the moment: The Five-Minute Goat Cheese & Avocado Tortilla.
    1 small whole grain tortilla
    1 egg
    1/2 avocado
    30 g of goat cheese
    salt
    pepper
    Sriracha sauce

    Scramble egg with some salt and pepper and pour onto tortilla. Chop cheese into small pieces and put on tortilla. Microwave for ca. 1:30 mins (cheese should have melted and egg should be firm).
    Peel & slice avocado. Put slices onto cooked tortilla. Add Sriracha sauce to taste & roll tortilla.
    Enjoy :bigsmile:

    When I make deviled eggs, I replace the mayo with avocado... YUMMY!! Of course they are brown the next day but who cares!!!

    Add lime to avoid browning.

    Funny! I just finished tracking my lunch and ate *gasp* a WHOLE avocado! I love mine all kinds of ways, but when I'm hangry after a workout, unadulterated with a little bit of salt does just fine! Spread the avo-love!

    I have a smoothie for breakfast every morning on my way to work:

    1 cup frozen strawberries
    1 banana
    1/4 large or 1/2 small avocado
    1 scoop Iso-smooth vanilla protein powder
    water

    I get 3 servings of fruits right off the bat. Nutritional breakdown:

    339 calories
    45g carbs
    6g fat
    33g protein
    31 mg sodium
    21g sugar

    The sugar's a little high (something I'm trying to work on in general), but they're 100% from fruit so I don't stress it too much.

    Because I don't use yogurt or milk in my smoothies, I find the banana and avocado help thicken it a bit.

    I eat them with a spoon, I slice them into gazpacho, I put them on my mixed salad, and sometimes I'll chuck them in my morning smoothie.

    I have a recipe from Abs Diet cookbook that is delicious and easy but a lot of salt so be warned:

    1 avocado diced
    1 can tuna or chicken drained
    1 can black beans rinsed
    1 16oz jar of Salsa
    1 can corn drained (optional)

    I mix it all together in a big bowl and chill. I call it fiesta tuna salad and it goes great on crackers, wraps etc. I prefer to eat it by itself. I usually get 4 serving out of it and that puts it at 225 calories per serving.

    Three eggs or two egg whites and one whole egg. Hard boiled. Use avocado instead of mayo. Add spices. .

    Hands down. Best egg salad EVER

    Unless your hands are holding a fork with the avocado egg salad on it. If that's the case, don't put them down. :)
