Avocados are for the birds

[theJamAbides]

Anyone else hate raw avocados as much as me? I know how good they are for monounsaturated fats, so I eat them daily, but I have to bite a chunk and immediately swallow it whole with a big chug of water.

[getfit]

add lime and salt it's tastes great!

[McIrish]

Seriously, I could eat avocados all day. Mmmm, add them to a sandwich next time!

[Mik]

Mash 'em up with onion, garlic and lemon juice. Mmmmmm tasty!

[Mr. D]

Add it to cottage cheese and salsa. Its greatness...

[Unreal]

They are awesome. Guacamole is one of my guilty pleasures. Down in mexico we had fresh guac almost every night.

oh, i have to try that sounds yummy.

[Mr. D]

For even greater taste, cut fresh cilantro on top, maybe a few green onions and the last piece of the puzzle: Grounded cumin.

Careful with the guacamole... a lot of the restaurant and store-bought guacamole has a bunch of extra unhealthy **** mixed in.

[sCaRz*Of*PaiN]

Store-bought sucks anyway. Homemade is where it's at. :)

[bigmoney]

avacados are good on everything! chicken, beef, fish, maybe even my oats :)

I actually saw on tv the other day, some "nutritionist" comparing the amount of fat in avocatos and the amount of fat in a milkshake! Then telling their patient not to eat either. I got so angry! lol
But you do lots of stuff with them, look up some recipes.

[theJamAbides]

Guys, thanks for the great responses. I want their nutritional value, and they are relatively cheap. I'll try these things and get back to you! If all else fails, I'll just keep chuggin' 'em down.

[Buzzsaw]

Avocados are teh **** :drooling: Great on turkey sandwiches, chicken burritos, salads, and almost anything else.

[McIrish]

If you really hate avocadoes, wouldn't it be fine to substitute olive oil to get your healthy fats in? Personally, I love avocadoes, so its a non issue.

[Mr. D]

Of course. Avocados do provide a great source of fibre though.

[Yeti Sandwich]

Boo-urns to you. Avocados are delicious.

[Dman]

avacados taste great with a strawberry dressing in the center where the pit is after you cut it in half. Also I like rice vinegar and sometimes balsalmic vinegar.. try it trust me

[mikesbytes]

Put some in your salad.

[Sensei]

I'm a big fan of guacamole and avocado sushi.... good stuff.

Or is simply an RD

Expensive here. I like em, just don't want to spend that kind of money.

[Mr. D]

In my neck of the woods (Texas), you can get the small Haas avocados for 2 for $1, every few weeks 3 for $1 and the occasional sale will bring 4 for $1. Thats not expensive.

the large ones will run you anywhere from $1 to $2 each.

[saia127]

I eat avocados like appels.
I put them on everything.

[future_engineer]

Actually, I have two cockatiels and it would kill them if they ate them. Go figure eh?
