How about Avocado?

[Arwen's Mom]

So in having to change our eating habits and focusing on no cholesterol, low fat, blah. I have been reading a lot about fats and the types of fats, and not all fats are the same. Avocado being a good fat.

***** loves them.

They make me gag.

Any recipes you can share to help me infiltrate some avocado into my diet would be appreciated.

isnt there any chocolate flavored avocados?

Gag on this. If you don't like Guacamole there is something wrong with you.

You need to make sure the avocados are ripe. Some of them do have a funky taste too.

But if you get one just right, it's like butter.

Guacamole is good too, make it with fresh ingredients though. Not that packet crap.

 

[VanDbtRiver]

Sea salt and lemon juice on it

 

[rocknrollgirl]

On spouted wheat toast, spread it like butter and add a sprinkle of salt. Yummmmm

 

[Cyclopath]

Cubed and tossed with Chunks of broiled chicken breast, ripe tomato wedges, red onion and cilantro leaves. :drooling:

If you're vegan just leave out the chicken.

Another idea is to buy avocado oil and use it for cooking. We got a bottle at costco - different from olive oil but very good

I like to do chicken salad, but instead of mayo I use avocado. Mash it all together and slap on some bread, or scoop some into lettuce and make lettuce wrap type things.

we all know this already

I make a kale salad with avocados. Cut up grape tomatoes, fresh lemon juice, pinch of salt, and an avocado diced up.

I can eat an avocado just plain...scooping it right from its skin. Mmmm.

 

[mattybfat]

I eat this delectable fruit almost daily plain without nuttin. Absolutely love me some avocados.

I made chocolate pudding with avocado once. This was an effort to get my daughter to eat something green. She LOVES pudding. She ate it, but she lacked her usual gusto. At the end, she declared that it wasn't that good after all and didn't want to finish it.

I thought it was good. But like others here, I am happy gobbling it up with nothing more than a spoon, and maybe a bit of salt.

I eat a whole avocado every day. It is a super food. I hate mayonaisse so I use a nice ripe avocado and mix it with a can of tuna. I put some pepper and hot sauce in the mix and it's great on toast (ezekiel bread).

 

[Jase]

Nice things to try with avocado's. like the tuna idea.

But who's *****?

 

[Arwen's Mom]

But who's *****?

Mr AM, my better half, husband, sometimes called Barry, but usually sweetie pie or darling, even by some of my fella friends.

wonder how this would work with egg salad.

And chocolate pudding...:hmmm: might be worth a try. Could even try freezing it...ice cream made with avocado....

There are a lot of raw chocolate avocado pudding/mouse recipes out there if its truly the taste you dislike.

as for avocado oil, you can use it but I wouldn't heat it.

Id also get into the coconut milk (in cans) & virgin coconut oil game. tons of the good stuff.

Ok, why didn't you just put his name in the first place, I dont understand, kind of confusing.

At what point do we slap the scarlet letter on someone and drag em into the streets for a hanging? I honestly can't believe someone can not like avocado, it's in most peoples top ten.

I think the world needs a coming together of french fries and avocado. This could make history.
