Avocados are considered a superfood, which means they contain a lot of beneficial nutrients. This is great news since avocados are also quite tasty, as well as versatile. Here are just some of the ways that you can add avocados to your regular diet.
Just Eat It
You don’t always have to cook an avocado or mix it with other foods. They are a food that can be eaten just as it is. To add some extra flavor, sprinkle a little lemon juice or garlic powder on the avocado before eating.
Make a Spread
If you mash up an avocado until it’s creamy, it makes a great spread. You can use it to put on bagels, chips, bread, or anything else you can think to spread it onto. This can be a great cholesterol-free snack for those watching their cholesterol intake.
Ol’ Faithful
As we all know, avocados can be used to make guacamole. There are a variety of recipes for guacamole, so have fun with it and mix things together to see what tastes best. Some great additions to guacamole include mango, berries, cashews, and chocolate, just to name a few.
Sandwiches/Burgers
This one can be approached from a couple different ways. When it comes to sandwiches and burgers, you can either mash the avocados and make a spread, or you can slice them up to make long strips to add onto your sandwich. Either way, avocado makes for a great addition to any burger or sandwich.
Salad
Avocados are a great way to add some extra flavor and protein to your salad. Dicing them up to mix throughout your salad can add for a great surprise and boosts of nutrients when opening it for lunch. Avocado goes great in salads that involve tomatoes, chicken, cilantro, and more.
