There is nothing quite like a perfectly rip Avocado. I love to eat them plain or in guacamole, but these are not the only options. Avocados are being eaten in all sorts of unexpected ways. Avocados on toast is one of the more popular recipes for breakfast or lunch. Some like the mashed avocado with salt and pepper and some prefer honey.
Avocado milkshakes are another bizarre variation that can be found in traditional Vietnamese restaurants. Some are made with chocolate, sugar and milk. Some are made with vanilla ice cream. The less you think about the avocado the easier it is to drink.
A great vegan chocolate cake alternative involves mashing avocados and adding them to a vegan chocolate cake mix. While I am not vegan and like my chocolate cake just fine, I must say it is still decadent chocolate cake without the dairy.
See?! I was trying to tell the class that avocado on toast is normal! LOL. Milkshakes and cakes, though? That sounds pretty wild. I might have to give that a try!
ReplyDeleteYummy!!!! I LOVE avocados! I haven't tried them on toast though. I usually just shake some salt on them and eat it plain! Have you seen this website http://www.avocado.org/recipes/ ....AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteThe avocado milkshake and chocolate cake remind me of black bean brownies and chocolate cake made with sauerkraut. Sounds horrible at first, but once you give it a whirl it's not bad. I'm always intrigued by an oddball recipe, especially one that is actually good for you. Your photo makes me want guacamole :)
