How do you eat avocados?

[Comply_or_Die]

I'm trying to incorporate avocados into my diet but they are the most bland food I have ever tasted. I hate the texture too, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what to do with it? I tried making guacamole but even then the bland avocado came through and put me off. Any seasoning or simple recipe ideas?

If you don’t like them, don’t eat them, they do not give magic you powers or anything. I like them in guacamole. My wife has also made frozen chocolate ice cream with them, I thought that was pretty good, didn’t taste the avocado (recipes on the inter webs). I use avocado oil for making homemade Giardiniera or (garlic basal hot peppers, and variety of veg). I love that stuff. Avocado oil is a good high heat oil to cook with if you are specifically looking for other mono fats. It does not impart flavor like various olive oils.

I put them in my protein shakes

I mash it down and sprinkle on salt, black pepper and mixed herbs, then mix it up and enjoy it on the side with chicken/eggs/ whatever

Used to find them bland AF too (when I was younger) but they're a staple now

Don't force-feed yourself foods you don't like. There are plenty of other vegetables that will provide similar benefits.

If you made bland guacamole then you used a horrible recipe.

^^if ya blend them with your protein shakes, it makes the texture super creamy

Whole wheat toast with avocado and chicken breast. Pretty tasty.

I make guacamole. Smash along with lime juice, black pepper, garlic and Chile powder. Money.

I used tomatoes, black pepper, salt, some lemon and touch of olive oil and it still tasted bland. Might give chili powder or even paprika a go though, to hopefully override the taste.

Ice cream is interesting, I might give it a go.

I just peel it and eat it.

I am completely in-love with avocado & soy sauce. Put this on sandwich/ salmon/ meat.

I also make an avocado protein shake. It's creamy and delicious.

Avocado is one of those foods you love or hate. If you don't love it, eat something else. Get some pre-made guacamole from Chipotle, if you dont like it then just leave avocados out of your diet. They are good for you but millions of people have never tasted one and lived long healthy lives, don't worry about it enough to eat stuff you don't like.

Same with olives, pickles, mayo, mustard, etc...

I cut them in half, sprinkle salt and pepper and scoop them out with a spoon. I have a feeling that won't work for you.

It's not the same thing but how about incorporating avocado oil into your cooking?

What flavor protein powders go well with avocado?

[Godngains]

I used to smash mine onto a whole wheat toast and top it with black pepper, salt, and Cholula hot sauce. Sooo good. I think it's the hot sauce that really made it.
But I don't mind them plain, which is how I eat them now.

^^^^

Yup...

Lime, salt, cilantro...so easy to make decent guacamole

[Entropia]

Thinly sliced oven roasted chicken breast, bacon, stone-ground mustard, spinach, tomato, avocado slices on multigrain bread. Insanely good sandwich on the cheap.

[AdamWW]

I'm surprised people would put an avocado into a smoothie... i'd so much rather eat them... never understood drinking calories you could otherwise chew.
