    Honestly, my favorite way to eat avocado is in the middle of a turkey sandwich.

    Fresh uncooked kale
    Avocado
    Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

    Pull the kale off the stems and tear up like a salad. Cut up an avocado, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over kale and avocado. Mash around with hands to mix/massage it all together. Salt and pepper to taste. Let stand in fridge for 15 min-30 min. Eat like a salad. The lemon and avocado make a "dressing" and the kale breaks down a little so it is not so tough. I actually ate this for lunch today. It was yummy!

    If you can afford around 400 calories:

    Linquine with Guacamole

    6 oz uncooked linquine
    1 ripe avocado
    2 tbsp lime juice
    2 large cloves garlic
    3 tbsp salsa
    1 jalapeno pepper (if you want heat; if you don't, omit)
    fresh cilantro to taste (I don't like cilantro so I don't use)
    coarse salt and pepper to taste

    Cook pasta according to directions to al dente.
    In a food processor or blender add avocado, lime juice, garlic, salsa, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. When pasta is ready, drain and place in large serving bowl. Add guacamole sauce and toss until pasta is well coated. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

    Serves 2-3
    (I find I'm satisfied with 2 oz. of past so I usually get 3 servings out of this)

    Thai style crab stuffed avocado halves:

    Based on 4 servings, 1/2 avocado per serving (Ideal for a starter/appetiser or double up serving for a main meal)

    200 cals per half, 2g carbs

    - 2 ripe avocados, halved and stones removed.
    - 1 can white crab meat (shredded or chunks will be fine)
    - 1 red chilli pepper, deseeded & chopped fine
    - 2 spring onions (scallions/green onions) white & green part. Chopped fine.
    - 1/2 tbsp lime juice
    - 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (Cilantro)
    - 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (Thai sweet basil if you can source it).
    - a good grind of fresh black pepper

    Mix all the above ingredients together and stuff into the avocado 'holes'.

    Served with salad (I like to use coleslaw mix dressed with thai dressing)

    If you have a sweet tooth...Try this recipe from Kymmu.


    Chocolate Avocado Pudding
    2 ripe avocados
    2 tsp. real vanilla extract
    ½ cup cocoa powder
    ½ cup maple syrup
    ¾ cup milk (coconut, almond, raw dairy... your preference)

    1. Slice avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the fruit, and throw it in the blender with the other ingredients.
    2. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop a couple of times and scrape down the sides. Add a bit more milk if necessary.

    Variation Suggestions: add ½ - 1 tsp. (depending on your preference) of cinnamon, cayenne, or peanut butter. You could also substitute half of the vanilla extract with almond extract.

    Serves 4 ( or 1 if your greedy)

    I had this at a restaurant the other day and it was absolutely delicious.. it was a starter but pretty filling so you could have it with both halves if you fancy a light meal.

    Basically a bruschetta on an avocado: –

    Take half an avocado.
    Add finely chopped tomato, basic and onion in a vinaigrette. Place it into the middle where the stone was.
    Cover with grated mozzarella.
    Lace under the grill until browned.

    Serve with a salad.

    So yummy it’s insane.

    The thai crab stuffed avocado and the avocado "bruschetta" both sound really good. I posted an avocado dressing/dip recipe yesterday. Title: delicious avocado dressing/dip. Great on top of a fajita salad.

    Love avacados! :heart:

    I guess I can add a recipe... it's all very imprecise.

    1 avacado chopped
    2 Tbsp very thinly sliced onions (I use regular yellow but I suppose any kind would be fine)
    1 can of crab meat (or equivelent fresh)
    Juice from half a lemon
    Salt and pepper to taste (or not)

    Toss ingredients together. Eat.

    Guacamole Deviled Eggs:

    Make guac to your liking and include the egg yolks. Fill the egg whites as you would with deviled eggs. I had these for breakfasts a couple weeks ago. So good and filling!

    Here is one I am addicted too. I even put some on my black beans last night. If you like sour cream and guac, you will love this, especially at around 40 calories per serving. It is crazy good!
