bigmamabird Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I stared Whole30 today and had my first ever Avocado with breakfast. Blurgh!! Are there any secrets to making this bland devil food more palatable or am I going to just have to choke them down and be a grownup? I scoured Pinterest to find out how to pick a good, ripe one and this one did seem to be in the illusive avocado ripeness sweet spot. And I did that fancy cube it in the shell then scoop it out with a spoon trick. I just can't imagine how I'm going to eat these things plain for 30 more days. Help!

jmcbn Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You really don't have to eat anything you don't like for 30 days - go with other fat options like home made mayo & mayo based sauces, ghee/clarified butter nut/seed oils & nut butters (in moderation only), olives & olive oil, coconut oil/milk/cream/manna/flakes/flesh, duck/goose fat, tallow, schmaltz, lard or fatty cuts of meat like brisket, ribs & chicken thighs (skins on)....There are lots of other good fat options out there!

laura_juggles Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I cannot eat even the most perfectly ripe avocado without salt. I like to mix cubed avocado with similarly sized cuts of cucumber and tomato and Tessamae's Southwest Ranch or a quick dressing of lemon/lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili powder. But as jmcbn said, you don't have to have avocados if you don't want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhed Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You can make it into guacamole, and add spices and onion and tomato and lime to jazz it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2016 I mash avocado with lime juice and use it as the base of salmon salad. Sometimes I mash avocado with lime juice and spread it on top of eggs, chicken, or roast. I never just eat avocado. Sometimes I go for months without eating any avocado at all.

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm not a huge fan of avocado either. I much prefer homemade mayo or one of the variations (add garlic, herbs, spices, etc ....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 When I'm dicing it up I just think of it as creamy texture (like, I put it on top of chili like someone else would put sour cream or cheese). When I make guac, it has to have plenty of salt and lime! But as others have said - no need to eat avocado if you don't want to. Homemade mayo is my personal favorite added fat source.

bigmamabird Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 For lunch I mashed it up with some squeezes of lemon juice. It was tolerable. I have two more in my basket so I'm going to have to eat them, but I don't think I'll be buying any more. They just aren't my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
