I made my second trip to Aldi this week and came home with a couple of avocados.

I like plain avocado, or a garnish or extra with Mexican food but don't buy them very often so am not quite sure what else I can do with them.

How do you like to eat and/or prepare fresh avocado?

I just like it with a little salt and cumin.

I like fresh guacamole with a dollop of hot black beans on it -- something about the texture and temperature contrasts plus of course that jacks the protein up.

I mash mine up and mix with a little cottage cheese and some pepper!

I was thinking of this thread when I was in the grocery store today. Avocados...check

My breakfast this morning ????

Well, the avocados are delicious right now. I also bought a couple and today simply sliced half of one up and added it to my turkey / cheese / whole wheat sandwich.

Boy, was it good!

Thanks to @@Inner Surfer Girl for starting this thread.

Next time I'll have to buy more than two. Thanks for all of the great suggestions!

Mash it up w/a smidge of EVOO and use in place of mayo in tuna/chicken salad, sandwiches etc. Great sliced/cubed and in a salad with heart of palm and white asparagus (not sure if that is permitted?)

Use it on a sandwich instead of mayo or butter.

I'll keep that in mind for when I am able to eat sandwiches.

Had 1/2 an avocado diced with 1 diced hard boiled egg and a little red wine vinaigrette dressing (Wishbone). Satisfied my taste for lots of flavor and very filling.

You can put it in a Protein shake if you drink them. Doesn't really change the taste and make it crazy creamy-smooth. I used a lot of avocado early in maintenance when I was trying to add calories and good fat without bulk. Guac is a fav, on just about anything for me. I've seem people cook an egg in half an avocado, but that would be a lot for me in one sitting, size wize and fat wize. My gall bladder is on the edge, (may eventually need to come out :-() since WLS and too much fat, (even good fat) can be a bad thing now.

Thanks for the suggestion @bikrchik. I do drink Protein shakes and will keep this in mind. I don't use a blender for the majority of my shakes for simplicity sake, but I may give it a try with an unflavored Protein powder, veggie juice and avocado. I think that would be very filling and satisfying.

Ooh, these sound interesting!

Lord! We got through about 10 a week.. if not more. My 2.5 year old will eat a whole one with dinner.

There are a couple things I love to do with avocados. I like to mash it and mix it with cottage cheese and I make a kind of egg salad with avocado, chopped eggs onions and if you like add chopped tomatoes and red chili peppers or jalopino (sp) making it a guacamole great in a lettuce wrap.
