Really, there’s no end to the ways you can use avocados in recipes. They make most anything taste better, and, as we discussed yesterday (see below), they pack a huge nutrition punch. Here’s 2 ways to incorporate avocados into your diet:
Awesome Guacamole:
Ingredients:
- 3 avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately with vegetables, (kale) chips, on burgers and chicken, or however else you can imagine.
Avocado Smoothie:
Ingredients:
- 1/3 medium avocado
- 2 Tbsp almonds
- 1 cup berries, any kind
- 1 scoop whey protein
- 1 Tbsp flaxseeds or Chia seeds

Stevia or honey (optional)
