When I’m in California, I eat at least one avocado a day. I eat avocados straight from the skin with a spoon, halved, sprinkled with a little Celtic sea salt and squeezed with a drop of lemon. I eat avocados mashed into a two-minute guacamole with some diced red onion, a minced clove of garlic and a squeeze of lime. I eat avocados sliced onto a salad and drizzled with a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar. I eat avocados diced onto a bed of brown rice or quinoa. I blend avocados into chocolate mousse and I blend avocados into gorgeous green smoothies. Bang for buck, there is no feel good food I can think of that comes close to the nutrient density, deliciousness, versatility, and sheer sensuousness of an avocado.
