Avocados ( Saving Half )

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2008/04/28, 04:12 PM For those whom love Avocado but find a whole to much to consume you can save 1 half for the next day. I like Avocado with allot of my dinner meals for my fats but a whole may and can be to much so I save the other half for the next day. To save a half you must leave the seed in the half, squeeze or pour lemon juice on the Avocados opened end and then wrap in aluminum foil. So no more excuses and start eating Avocados! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

Sometimes I mix it into a Chicken, Bean and Rice meal. Sometimes I mix it into my Chicken meal when I use a Buffalo sauce. Allot of times I mix it into a salad or even cooked vegis when using a vinegared sauce (Red Wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Honey, Water and Sweetener). ============ Quoting from carivan: What do you do to them?

You can mash them and use as a spread also for a sandwich! They pack allot of good fats in a small amount which is what makes them great IMO. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

Just a heads up to anyone looking to trim calories from their diet....eat in small doses. Personally I love guacamole...and it's a healthy alternative to other dips and spreads (in small doses of course)
