Raise your hand if you’re ready for more avocado recipes.
Keep ’em up if you’re ready for some of the healthiest bloggers on the internet to share with you their innovative avocado recipes. Oh yeah, it’s been an awesome week. Happy Wednesday.
I was beyond excited when the Recipe Redux announced this Avocado theme.
AKA my favorite food. AKA the thing I need to learn portion control around.
I kicked off the week with my tomato, white-peach, and avocado salad & avocado wontons.
The humble avocado is not only a good source of healthy, mono-unstaturated fats, it also packs quite the fiber punch! Each avocado contains around 300 calories, 15g heart-healthy fat, and 10g fiber. That’s in addition to a 1/3 daily value of Vitamin C and 1/2 daily requirement of vitamin K.
These green globes hold a very special place in my heart. If I have time for a sit-down breakfast, I will almost always choose avocado toast: toasted Ezekial bread, 1/2 smashed avocado, sprinkle of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Come to mama.
This sandwich is a classier, ladies-who-lunch version of my avocado toast. Layers of fresh spinach, grilled portabello mushrooms & lemon spread. Wow. Crispy, creamy, crunchy, it’s a texture party!

This is a fantastic recipe for a mouthwatering veggie stack! The grilled Portabella would add such a wonderful meaty texture to this vegetarian meal. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Shannon! Glad you like it. I love mushrooms for their meaty texture, perfect for vegetarian and vegan recipes. This sandwich is so delicious, hope you try it!
Oh yes, you can never have too many avocados- Or mushrooms, for that matter! This is such a fun and elegant presentation, it really jazzes up a simple concept.
Yeah, I’m raising my hand, lol! OH my goodness, your avocado recipes this week have me salivating (as well as your awesome photos – Regan & I were just commented at how fab your blog is looking these days 🙂
