Avocado

This post was inspired by my wonderful sister who lives in Maui, Hawaii.

She is a phenomenal cook, and will hopefully contribute to the blog with some recipes/ideas/insights in the future. She called from paradise yesterday to chat about sisterly things, including how she has a bounty of home grown Hawaiian avocados at the moment.

Avocados are an amazing superfood! Here are some cool avocado facts:

• contain more potassium than bananas
• highest protein of any fruit
• contain monounsaturated fat (THE GOOD FAT!) that helps reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, and increases basal metabolic rate
• naturally sodium and cholesterol free
• the healthy fat and fibre helps reduce appetite, and therefore helps in maintaining a healthy body weight.

Once she planted the idea, I knew I had to cook up avocado something! Seeing as it is avocado season, I have no excuse not to. I searched the web for some tasty avocado recipes, and after slewing through all the guacamole ones, I found some new ones I'd like to try. I found a whole days worth of avocado recipes!!
