Steady tho....they’re highly calorific x
Grill it. Split and pit a few avocados, brush them with a little oil, put them on a hot grill- add toppings such as shredded chicken/ eggs
Turn them into brownies- a great healthier swap
Make a guacamole or crushed avo dip
Blend into a soup
Swap for mayo in chicken salad
Add it to your smoothies
Make a pasta sauce with it
Add to a breakfast with bacon and eggs!
