    I really like avocados but they aren't something that I regularly think of buying. When I do- they seem to go bad before I get to them. I know they are healthy but I typically spend my calories elsewhere.

    You can buy a few extra days by popping them into the fridge (whole) right around the time they're getting ripe :smile:

    As often as possible.

    I'm an "avocado I'm season" kinda gal. When they're really cheap (like right now--$.98 each!), I can eat two a week--particularly as a vegan sandwich spread. But when they're $3 in the winter, I'll make cauliflower or butternut squash hummus instead.

    Maybe once a month? There's no reason why anyone needs to eat a certain amount of avocado. Eat 'em often if you want to, don't eat 'em if you don't like them. Lots of different foods are "healthy."

    You are so lucky! I only buy them when they're on sale. Avocados, toast, and eggs with toasted cumin and sriracha- that's my favorite breakfast!

    I rarely have it at home. Sometimes at restaurant I have something with avocado in it. It works out to maybe 2 times a year.

    For those of you who complain they’re not ripe for long, just stick them in the fridge when they’re ripe and they’ll last much longer.

    I eat 1-2 avocados a week. Usually 1/2 at a time with toast, or a quarter thrown in with my salad. Mmmmm avocado.

    I havent been eating it that often because it is calorie rich but lately I have been eating a little bit in the morning with my scrambled eggs or on my turkey sandwich.

    1/2 of an avocado about 5 days a week or more. Where I live they are readily available year round and inexpensive. I always wondered about "avocado toast" expense, since that is what we do with them when we are running out of ideas - just mash it on some bread. I have discovered the bliss that is a soft cooked egg on avocado on toast. Yum!

    I put 1/2 cut up one in my salad and don't need dressing since the creaminess coats everything. Today I will have a turkey club on a croissant with avocado.

    I should note that I run my @33 off 5 days/week and weight train on the weekends to be able to eat like this. I also buy the tiny ones that are around 160 calories per half.

    ETA: For *most that state they have no taste; that is because of where you live. You are most likely getting them shipped some distance from where they are grown. Where I live they taste like buttery fruit.

    *I say most, because some people wouldn't like them even if they were picking them from a tree in their yard. I had a friend that had never had one, and when I said the consistency was like a firm banana, made a face and refused to try one because she thought bananas were disgusting. :D

    Here is one for you, and with a little editing MFP will import it into your recipes. Take out all the "<p>" and you might want to edit the title. That name is hidden in the HTML.

    Had a small amount in a salad today, but usually i could easily just eat a half avocado alone with salt sprinkled on it.
