Hey Tina,
Yeah, avocados are quite high in calories, but they are also loaded with the
good fat and filled with nutritional value. My trouble is that it’s a
challenge to eat enough calories in a day to meet the daily requirement, so an
avocado
for lunch is a good thing for me, personally. You could also add slices to a
salad. Even a couple slices are a healthy thing, if the calorie count concerns
you.
Haven’t come across avocado oil before, but sounds interesting. If you try
it, let us know what you think. Thanks!
Blessings, Marion

Check with the seller on whether you can ingest it or not.

I love avocado but can’t eat the whole thing. The remainder goes
rancid very quickly. Is there any way to avoid this ?
I cut them in half and leave the seed in one half, do not peel that half, wrap
snugly in saran wrap and store in the fridge. Shoul dbe good for a couple days.

Can you juice avacados, or blend them?

Tina (got the name right this time, sorry)
Believe it or not, fresh organic RIPE avocados are wonderful in a smoothie.
This winter I stayed with an organic farmer on the Big Island of Hawaii and he
cured himself of Hepatitis C (from a former lifestyle) using a RAW JUICING
VEGAN diet and plenty of supplements. A true and total cure. Amazing.
We would go out in the morning and gather FRESH fruit right off the trees.
Most natives try not to eat groundfalls there because of the big bugs and rats
that could have contaminated them. (yep, they have rats in paradise….)
His daily smoothie contained the following (all from his yard!) Oranges,
Grapefruit, Bananas (2 kinds), a big Avocado, Mango, Guava, Ginger, a small
Thai Pepper, a bit of Garlic, Coconut milk and other seasonal fruits. The
avocado was what gave it body and texture. What a great flavor and what a
healing substance. He would have some juice in the morning but seemed to
like one of these in the evening or just before bedtime. Don’t know why.
Side note: Another farmer I stayed with on Maui raised sprouts for a living
and I got one of the most powerful GI flushes in my life from ratcheting up my
daily intake of WHEAT GRASS JUICE. Holy moly! We were also munching on
Sunflower sprouts all day with the occasional Radish sprouts thrown in so this
probably affected the cleansing effect. I recommend it if you can get the
fresh organic juice, but do be careful with the amounts; in addition to excess
cleansing it will most likely jack your blood sugar. It’s also better for you
if you
mix Oatgrass, Wheatgrass and Ryegrass juices.
