Someone asked if the trees in the back of this picture are avocado trees. YES! My mom’s yard has 2 huge avocado trees.
See? I just stand and stare and the amazing trees for hours. I didn’t even know someone was taking a picture…
Just the Tip: Use Avocados instead of mayo in recipes for some extra flavor and healthy fat.
I made deviled eggs from the leftover Easter eggs with avocado instead of mayo and it was delicious!
According to this WF page, Avocados are packed with Fiber, Vitamin K and Folate. And they have anti-inflammatory and cancer fighting properties. Eat them!
So, spread it toast instead of mayo or cheese. Fight that inflammation! Boom.
Put it on everything. I do.

Hey, I never asked – Do you like Guacamole?
Kaye says
Now I am getting second thoughts about planting an Avocado tree. I was down at Lowe’s last week and really thought hard about buying one! 🙂
Anna {Herbivore Triathlete} says
YES! Everything is better with avocados.
Katie says
Yessssssssssss. I’m trying to start an avocado tree with a pit right now, and I think it’s starting to take off. So, hopefully I don’t kill it… I would happily put avocado/guac on everything.
Sami says
NOOOO WAYYYY!??!? 🙂 Thanks so much. You’ve officially topped my “favorite redheads list”. I’m so pumped for these Questbars.
Ps, I have guac from Chipotle in the fridge right now. Avocados = love.
You are a lucky little stinker for having two trees to pick from.
xo.
Morgan says
I like to mix tuna fish and avocado (instead of using mayo), sooooooooooooo good! Half the time this concoction never even makes it on to bread or a pita.
Sarah says
I would die to have avocado trees in my backyard. Well, not literally die because that would defeat the purpose then, right? But yeah, I could eat guac by the gallon.
Deb says
Ohhhh, I wish I had an avocado tree that I could just pick one (or two) for every meal! I love them, but at over a $1 a pop, I don’t have them very often…. ;-(
runeatrepeat says
I know! They are so expensive in stores!
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats says
I use avocado as a mayo sub all the time and think avocado makes any dish better. I’m so obsessed with it.
River says
I put avocados on everything too. sooo good!
Dave says
Sorry. Not an avocado fan even though I know they are healthy. I don’t mind scooping them out and making guac for my wife, I just don’t like eating it.
Sue says
yes. yes. yes.
Megan says
Give me all the avocados!
Nicole @ Fruit 'N' Fitness says
I love avocado! How cool to have avocado trees in your backyard.
ashley says
Do I?!?!?
(Yes. I do.)
Kim says
I would love to have an avocado tree – pretty sure they don’t grow in Kansas, though! Love guac and all things with avocados!!
Art @ Fit at Fifty says
I like avocado,
it is a very healthy food.
Losing Lindy says
I wish I liked avocados, V loves them, can you give some pointers on how to pick one out?
runeatrepeat says
I think it’s hard to choose them in the store because they’re often just not ripe yet. You have to take ’em home and let them get ripe. If you put it in a brown bag with an apple they ripen faster!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I agree! Avocado on every.freaking.thing.ever!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Avocado is a must have everyday in my life!
Brooke says
Guacamole is my favorite!! My husband makes a killer guac about once a week and I pretty much eat my weight in it. Avocado, red onion, garlic, cilantro, Serrano pepper, lime juice, salt, sometimes tomato. Oh. Baby.
Erin says
Awww I thought of you!

Breanna says
I’m allergic to avocados! 🙁 Booo it makes me so sad because everyone loves them so much.
Christine @ BookishlyB says
My mom never, ever, ever cooked with avocados growing up but now I buy at least one or two a week! Maybe it’s because my husband is part Mexican. Avocado loving is contagious.
Lindsey @ Run Freckles Run says
I def like some guac and I LOVE avocados. They are always on my grocery list. I can eat them plain!
colleen says
Don’t hate me…..I hate avacados. I hate gauc. Honestly…I hate MX food. :(((( I’m highly lactose intolerant and can’t eat eat anything in an MX restaurant….. More for you I guess. 😉
runeatrepeat says
Confession: I kinda hate Mexican food because I always leave the restaurant feeling disgusting. (Because I eat 3 baskets of chips, you think I’d learn…)

Taylor says
I love avocados & guacamole.. I actually use guacamole as a sub for mayo on sandwiches!

I’ve been using avocados like they’re going out of style. So many consumed out in the field.

What a lucky lady your mom is having 2 trees! I would LOVE that. I am obsessed with avocado!!
Rose says
I would NOT recommend putting avocados in the tip of your penis.
runeatrepeat says
You’re no fun.
Rose says
At least not just the tip. Maybe balls deep.
runeatrepeat says
Remember that time I completely lost it laughing on a conf call?
That just happened. Couldn’t find the mute button fast enough…thanks.
Rose says
You’re the second person I’ve done that to in the last week. Whoops.

I use avocado to make my sauces creamy, YUM! And yes, it rocks my world! Plus guacamole is one of the few “veggies” my man enjoys 🙂
Katie @ KatieEnPursuit says
I would put avocado on everything if I had enough of ’em! So tasty! And yes for guac, not too much garlic in it though, that ruins it 🙂
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I hate guacamole….sadly, I’m probably one of the few.
runeatrepeat says
I kinda like that, more for me!

Well, now you ask, I had homemade guacamole with my homemade beef burgers this very evening. And I ate most of my boyfriend’s serving, too.
