To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art. —La Rochefoucald
Happy #WellnessWednesday! By now, you know that I have a love for avocados. A serious love.
The kind of avocado love where I wonder if there will ever be an avocado restaurant where they make everything with avocado in it.
Now, there’s an idea! Ahhh… imagine avocado appetizers, various avocado salads, savory avocado dishes and desserts like avocado cookies, cake and ice cream.
The crème de la crème? Avocado to-go like bagels, smoothies and shakes, macarons…you get the idea.
My good friend, Karen and my best friend, Sarah on the other hand? They’re probably gagging and will never step foot into that kind of shop, ha! To them, avos are gross, but it’s okay. What do they know? Karen/Sarah, if you’re reading this, no hard feelings, m’kay?
Here are three yummy ways to use avocado:
-
BUTTER
Years ago, I said I would never give up butter and cheese. Well, I think this avocado butter recipe will help me take baby steps in doing that! Talk about a healthy fat, right? Who would’ve thought that one of the many ways to use avocado would be butter?
-
CHEESE-ER, AVOCADO CREAM CHEESE
For real, Huong? Yep. I didn’t know such a thing existed, but it does! This avocado cashew vegan cream cheese sounds too good to be true! I think this might work for those who love to snack!
-
BURGERS
Okay, so it’s not THAT unique, but come on. Did you see how avocado was used on these beet-root falafel burgers? I’ve never really liked the idea of mashed avo on hamburgers, but if I’m looking for a different flavor this might be it!
What did y’all think? Here’s another fun one way to use avo: avocado mac and cheese. Yup. If you have a love for both, why not put two and two together?
Since avocados provide a source of healthy fats our bodies needs, I wanted to share different ways to use avocado that aren’t common like smoothies, brownies, cookies or the like. I hope you’ll try these recipe ideas!
Do you have any unique ways to use avocado? Let me know in the comments below!
