Things to Do With Avocados

I was given a compliment yesterday about my blog recipes and that's all it took to encourage me to post more. I really love to cook, but I'm not really good at following precise instructions. Please keep that in mind when you decide to try my "recipes" because often I just throw things together without measuring. Any attempt to reproduce is normally a bit haphazard. These two recipes are recent favorites around our house. Jayne likes the avocado smoothie and Pete likes the avocado and tuna, I happen to love them both. We live amongst avocado groves so the use of them as much as possible seems only fitting.

Mina's Avocado Smoothie
1 whole avocado
2 cans Trader Joe's pineapple juice
2 kiwi

Blend and serve, 2 small servings. I sometimes add more pineapple juice to get 3 small servings out of it. I also like to add some plain or vanilla yogurt for a full meal. It travels well too.

Avocado/Tuna 
1 avocado
1 can tuna, drained
1 Tbl mayo
1/4 lime, squeeze and add juice to mayo
cilantro, to your taste
onion, to your taste
salt and pepper if you like

Mix all the ingredients but the avocado together and then spoon it into the avocado and eat. I eat a half for lunch, Pete needs a whole can and a whole avocado. Easy and healthy!
