A few weeks ago I was talking to my best friend and she suggested eating an avocado everyday. The same week, randomly, one of my co-workers mentioned that he eats a lot of avocadoes and that's why his hair was so soft. So I thought hey...why not?
And I bought an avocado.
And it tasted like crap.
I tried to add salt and pepper. No luck. Honestly the first...five-ish bites weren't that bad. But after that I just couldn't go on. But, in an attempt to force myself to like avocado, I continued with my quest.
I moved on to avocado smoothies.
This seemed like a fabulous idea. I could cover up the avocado and taste something I actually liked, and just drink it so I didn't have to taste the weird consistency. I tried an apple avocado smoothie first (apple+1/2avo+applejuice+ice+mint). Failure. Then I went for the banana smoothie (bananer+1/2avo+nutmeg+cinnamon+milk+orangejuice). This one wasn't horrible...for the first few swigs.
It seems that during this process I forgot something crucial: I don't like smoothies.
However, I refuse to give up. I will make something with the stupid avocado and be healthy was shiny hair and a pretty face.
I will.

Guacamole!!! I'm not a huge avacado eater, but I love guacamole, at least the good stuff. I make my own and it's delish.
I'll second Paula on that! It's so easy, too. Mash up the avocado, throw in some salsa (any kind will do - I usually use hot salsa, but uh, that's me), mix to taste, add lemon juice if desired, which i never do. Because growing up, my grandmother would make it with more lemon (or lime) juice than anything else. Devour with chips. I prefer tortilla chips, but that's me (and my pacific south west tendencies).
I just got onto an avocado kick this week:)
As the other two said, the yummiest way to eat avocado is guacamole:) You can make it from scratch or pick up a mix to put in with the mashed avocado.
I've been putting avocado on my turkey sandwiches...this too is really yummy!!
I just found your blog, I'm excited to get to know you!:)
