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.

Guacamole is my favorite but mixed in with either a salad or tortilla soup is a close second. YUM!
Avocado with roasted garlic and sea salt. Or make a sauce with garlic and olive oil and put it on top of spaghetti squash!

My favorite way to eat avocado is straight out of the skin!
Here in the northeast we love avocados too but it is pretty much impossible to find a decent avocado in the store. I’ve received from californiaavocadosdirect.com and they are always perfect, each and every one. And they are HUGE! Order some!! You know you want to.

I liked Love Veggies and Yoga on FB
I love them on sandwiches and mixed with fried rice and eggs.
Mmm I loooove avocados! My favorite will always be guacamole.
I love avacados in almost anything – I especially love guacamole. I especially love it in ceviche, which I don’t think is really traditional, and it’s certainly not vegan ;), but delicious!
I follow you on pinterest & pinned something of yours!
plain with salt or guacamole! Yummy!
