I've got a couple of avocados in the fridge that are nearing the end of their life. I don't want to have to pitch them. Looking for some creative uses for them? How do you use avocados?
I put some in a smoothie this morning and it was NASTY! So that is out.

Guacamole too obvious???
I looooooove guac!!! What all do you put in yours? I do have some tomatoes at home too. Maybe I'll whip some of that up. No chips or tortillas though - not that I'm opposed to eating it with a spoon.0 -

- On eggs or omelettes.
- With barbecue chicken sandwiches or even just any type of sandwich
- Add them to your smoothies, which adds an extra oomph of creaminess
- Crack an egg in half the avocado, cover with cheese and bake in the oven
- Spread on toast with a little bit of garlic powder on top
- Last resort, just enjoy with a spoon
I might have a slight addiction to avocados :blushing:0 -

I LOVE Avocados. I put them on bread with tomato and salt, I use them in my salads, we have guacomole about twice a week with mexican dinners. I am not opposed to sprinkling a little salt and eating it right out of the shell, if you mix a little plain yogurt with a smashed avocado it makes a great mayo replacement for sandwiches.0

make chocolate avocado pudding
or a creamy pasta sauce0 -

I tried baking sweet peppers stuffed with avocado in the oven a few nights ago, it was disgusting. :X0

I put them in my smoothies sometimes..gives them a smooth texture. I also just love to eat avocados with lemon and pepper on them or just by themselves. I eat them on eggs, sandwiches, burgers, just about anything.0

avocado pasta sauce - I blend them with some almond milk and spices0

When I make Kale salad I often throw a 1/4 or 1/2 (2 people) of Avocado in there. I actually massage the kale and break up the avocado so it coats it more like a dressing. Squeeze in some lemon too plus all your other veggies. It's really good!0

I take them apart and then put a dollop of aioli in the dip where the pit was. Eat the lot with a spoon.
