I just received a beautiful shipment of fuerte avocados from CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com
I’ve posted previously about CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com and mentioned that it’s a family farm and how each avocado is inspected, hand-selected, and hand-picked before it’s shipped to consumers.
The Holtz family avocado farm in 1973
The farm in 2010
Here are some of my favorite recipes using avocados:
Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa-Stuffed Puff Pastries (with a vegan option)
What’s not to love about squishy warm avocado, with melted cream cheese, flavored with two kinds of salsa to give the bites just a touch of sweet from the mango salsa and a kick from the green salsa verde.
Vanilla Avocado Banana Ice Cream (Raw, Vegan, GF)
You cannot “taste” the avocado. Trust me on this one; it’s really rich, creamy, sweet, and very ice cream-like.
People write to me frequently telling me how much they love this healthier recipe for ice cream. And that their unsuspecting husbands and kids do, too.
3 minute recipe. No veggie, onion, or garlic chopping required.
Vanilla Avocado Banana Smoothie in a Bowl
Sweet, creamy, pudding-like. Or thin it out a bit more and drink it with a straw like a smoothie.
Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse (Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free)
This recipe takes 2 minutes to make and when I bring it to a party, no one ever guesses what the secret ingredient is, and it’s instantly devoured by all. People tell me they prefer it to traditional chocolate mousse made with boiling cream and sugar.

My favorite way to eat an avocado is cut in half with a little cilantro. So yummy!
My favorite way to eat avocado is in a raw kale salad with sea salt. YUM!

I LOVE Avocados! My husband and I both love to make homemade guacamole with them, I like to slice them up and put them in salads, and I even add them to omelets. My favorite omelet EVER is egg whites, avo, feta cheese, tomatoes, spinach and roasted red peppers.
You know by now, I’m a superfan of yours…
Thanks for all of the inspiration!
OMG Averie, an avocado giveaway?! You are a goddess. Hmm, I think my favorite way is still on salads. I use them to make puddings, ice cream, enchiladas, and more, but big chunks on salad are still my fav.

I LOVE avocados! I have on sitting on my counter that I’m just itching to use (it isn’t ripe yet, dang it!) in a mexican lime soup recipe. :D
