There’s something about avocados that makes that make them so easy to eat but so impossible not to enjoy.

There’s been a song written about avocados, promotional events and commercials made for avocados and even costumes designed to make people look like avocados.

Well, to reiterate, avocados have multiple benefits for your health. What? You get to enjoy the rich buttery taste of the yummy fruit while also keeping your health in tact? Darn right you do.
Not only are avocados high in healthy fats, but they are also extremely nutritious. With higher potassium than bananas, avocados contain essential vitamins such as vitamin B, C, and E.
Also, by simply making avocados part of your diet, you’re automatically healthier than people who stay away from consuming the fruit!
So if you’re an avid avocado eater, you must be wondering, what other ways can I eat avocados other than the plain old original way (Although, there’s nothing wrong with that way, either)?
For one, you can mash up cut-up bits of the avocado, combine it with cilantro, tomatoes and a bit of salt, and now you have guacamole! Grab some chips, and enjoy!
Another way to eat avocados that’s becoming highly popular is to bake eggs into them. Yes, you heard correctly. To do this, preheat your oven to 450 degrees, slice the avocado, place both halves on a baking tray, and crack an egg into each half! Keep them in the oven for 12 minutes and then enjoy your breakfast of champions.
Other interesting ways to combine your avocados into other creations include tossing it into a chicken salad, substituting it for mayo in your sandwich, or adding an extra special touch to the classic BLT. Which would technically make it a BLAT. Haha (Please, bear with me).
As you can see, avocados are most likely the superfood of all fruits out there. They're easy to eat, easy to combine into other recipes and have a lot of good stuff for your body!
So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and “peel the avocado” and enjoy!
