Avocados have always been a huge part of my life.
If we have tacos (which is basically like every week, sometimes MULTIPLE times a week), there are always avocados present.
If we have burgers, avocados are a go-to topping.
If we have chili or anything that goes in a bowl, for that matter, usually avocados make an appearance.
You get the gist. Avocados are a staple in our diet. And for good reason! Not only are they a great source of potassium, but also a source of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats which are amazing for the heart, eyes, and skin!
For years, a lot of people would avoid fat like the plague, but then we started coming to our senses and recognizing that certain foods (*ahem* like avocado) could be beneficial in our diets since they provide healthier fats that can help absorb those fat-soluble vitamins and protect against heart disease.
So in a nut shell, that’s basically a summary of why I love avocados.
Now more recently, I’ve been getting creative with avocados and not only incorporating them into things, like burgers and wraps, BUT I’ve also been using them to whip up delicious spreads, dips (like this guacamole) and sauces.
Like this 5-ingredient Avocado Creme.
Doesn’t it look super creamy and delicious? And I’m tellin’ ya. It doesn’t just look that way. It tastes that way too!
In fact, this stuff is SO good that it’s already made an appearance on the blog multiple times. You might recognize it from my Stuffed Black Bean Sweet Potatoes and Black Bean & Brown Rice Meal Prep Bowls. Since it has made a guest appearance twice so far, I figured it was about time it became the star of the show.
There are several ways I would recommend using this Avocado Creme.
You can serve it:
- On tacos
- On (or in!) enchiladas
- As a veggie dip
- As a spread on burgers, sandwiches or wraps
- As a topping on chili
- To spruce up meal prep bowls
- To jazz up stuffed sweet potatoes
- As a dip for sweet potato fries
- Served along with eggs
- Or even as a creamy salad dressing!
Don’t you just love the versatility?
And better yet, it only requires five simple ingredients, so it literally takes no time at all to prepare. I like to make up a batch in my magic bullet and store it in the fridge for a few days to basically put on EVERYTHING I eat. Between my husband and I, it doesn’t last long.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It’s all about the dips and spreads, my friends. It’s all about those delicious dips and spreads.
ESPECIALLY when there’s avocado involved.
