Tastiest:

Guacamole (from Annabel Langbein's book More Taste than Time):

2 large ripe avocados, mashed with a fork

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons chopped coriander

salt and freshly gound pepper to taste

pinch of chilli powder ot 2-3 drops of tabasco

1 tomato, diced finely

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion or spring onion

Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Good to dunk raw veges in to.

unfortunatly no matter how they are prepared I dont like them. But if they were 50gms of protien a serve I would force them down!! What is there nutricional content btw

[Varven]

thanks guys whats the nutritional content ?

I'm not sure it's avocado season just yet, so at the moment the nutritional content of any avocados you can get is probably 100% soap.

Seriously, though, according to http://www.rnc.co.nz...

Avocado, raw (1, med) 389 calories, 1.1g carbs, 2.8g protein, 41.5g fat

The numbers are slightly different at http://www.calorieking.com/foods/food.p ... 1&partner= but probably not significantly so.

Healthy fats right.. so it does have a place in your diet even without cardio mate
