When I traveled to Tanzania earlier this year I heavily indulged in avocados.
I had wedges of avocados with wedges of mango for breakfast.
I had avocado dip with vegetables.
I had avocado mousse for dessert. It was flavored with rose water!
Tanzanians eat them everyday and in every way.
Avocados contain the GOOD fats that we NEED in our diet, contrary to old, popular science.
Fat fuels our nervous systems and nourishes our brains. We need fat to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, like vitamin D, vitamin E, A, and K. Most importantly, fat fills you up. It gives you energy and actually reduces the blood sugar spikes and crashes in the body. It lowers the likelihood of feeling hungry again shortly after eating.
I put avocados in my daily smoothies and often on my salad plate. Guacamole isn’t just for chips!
This summer I channeled the food stylist in me and created this avocado dish for a family brunch.
Don’t throw away the recipe books, but do experiment with food …..as ART!
Thank you so very much for your kind remarks! I appreciate it! Please follow and check my future posts. Cheers!
You are right, the fat in avocado fills you up. I would add avocado to anything and everything I eat, I just love it!
Me too Kenza!! Hope your travels going well!!
Cool storage tip! I haven’t heard that one but will be sure to try it.
It works! I also think keeping the pit in helps too.
I have noticed too, that avocado really fills you up.Way cool!
Yes! I love it in the morning.
I loved the advice about keeping an avocado fresh! Have you noticed
any flavor differences due to country of origin?
Yes, actually. I think the textures vary a lot. I should start paying attention to where they come from and which ones I like better.
A little salt and pepper on a fresh avocado makes for the perfect breakfast 🙂 I remember that delicious avocado snack in the photo!!
Excellent breakfast!! 🙂 and hugs!
In the spring, I got a concussion a few days before law school finals began. I ate an avocado every day until I was completely healed. I’m convinced it was the reason I managed to get good grades while dealing with brain trauma.
Wow! That is quite a testament to the healing value of avocados! I am so glad you recovered well! 🙂 Thank you for your comment!
