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

  2. I 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.

  6. My 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.

    Avocado with Warm Bacon Cilantro Dressing
    makes 4 servings

    1/3 pound sliced bacon (about 4 slices)
    2 firm-ripe avocados, each pitted, peeled, and cut into 4 to 6 wedges
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    Kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons chopped cilantro


    Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat until crisp.
    Drain bacon on paper towels. Remove pan from heat and pour the bacon fat into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp. bacon fat back into your skillet.
    Divide the sliced avocado wedges among 4 plates.
    Heat bacon fat over medium heat. Add garlic, 1/4 cup water, lime juice, and sugar and simmer for 1 minute, stirring.
    Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cilantro.
    Crumble the bacon in to the skillet.

  8. I 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!!
