Avocado Goodness

Suggestions for Use

1. Avocado on whole grain toast or bagels: This is a great alternative to cream cheese or jam. Just add a sprinkle of sea salt.
2. Avocado in smoothies: If you like a creamy smoothie, a small amount can make your berry or green smoothie taste decadent.
3. Avocado in omelets: Along with a little salsa and cilantro, this makes a great tasting omelet and is an alternative to using cheese.
4. Avocado on salads: Because of their creamy texture, using them on your salad along with dry seasoning, allows you to use little or no dressing.
5. Avocado in baking: Many recipes that call for butter or shortening can be replaced with avocado like this banana bread recipe or this chocolate cookie recipe.
6. Avocado in soups: Creamy soups can be made using avocado instead of all the dairy.
7. Avocado pizza: Along with some feta cheese and black olives, they make for a great tasting pizza.

I love avocado. It's such a misunderstood fruit/veg (depending on how you look at it!). Avocados are rich in fatty goodness; but the right kind of fat needed by our bodies. I've only ever used them in salads and smoothies. I stumbled upon this article suggesting avocado as an alternative to some of the unhealthy fat we consume ie cheese (which I love)!
