I was an adult when I first encountered an avocado. My first experience was not a good one. It tasted bland and didn’t feel right on my tongue. That ended as quickly as it started.

Quite a while after that experience I tasted guacamole. I was in love. All the ingredients were perfectly combined and tasted wonderful. Love met me on my plate.

I found out that avocados are good for us. They have nutrients that our bodies need. I decided to try them in different ways. They are good in salads, with scrambled eggs and on hamburgers. I added a half of one when I made a smoothie. It helped make the smoothie extra smooth. Since the taste is not overbearing, it didn’t add to or take away from the smoothies taste but added needed nutrients.

I saw a recipe for hummus that had avocados added to it. I’m going to make that recipe. It’s a healthy recipe and that’s a good thing. I’m sure there are many ways to eat avocado and I’m going to find them.

If you’ve never had an avocado, try them. Tasting bland is a good thing because you can season it the way you want. If you’re into healthy eating, you can add this to your meal-planning list.

Do you eat avocado? How do you like yours?
