Fit Friday: The superfood I can't live without.
My husband and I have an huge obsession.
With AVOCADOS.
My husband has mastered making homemade guacamole and we can eat it by the spoonful.
Our favorite guacamole recipe HERE.
One great way to stay away from the fat in dressings and sugar in sauces is to substitute using avocado.
It is a healthy fat that is packed with nutrients and fiber.
Dr. Oz claims it's one of the best fat burning foods.
I like it best mashed with a touch of salt, pepper and a little lime.
I use it on sandwiches, salads, everything.
I have avocado almost every day.
Share the obsession!
Happy Friday! xo

ReplyDeleteI get so behind, but I just wanted to tell you that all your comments seriously make my day! You are such a sweetheart! Thank you for being so sweet! xoxo
DeleteI actually never cared for avocados until I got pregnant. I realize that I've come to like them and strawberries and have eaten more of both in the last few months than I probably have in my whole life. I never thought about using it in dressings, thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteMan that sounds so good! if only I wasn't allergic to avacado!

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love avocados too! Our new favorite recipe is so delicious by itself, or on top of salads. And you can use turkey bacon for a healthier option.

I LOVE avocados! I hardly ever get tired of them. They are so good and so good for you! We always buy the big bundle from Costco and they are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog!! I am obsessed with avocados too. I have at least one a day. I usually slice it up on a greek yogurt egg salad sandwich, use it in place of mayonnaise, make hummus with it, and chopped it up with almost anything I eat. So good for you!!
