Heaven on toast

I can't understand why this adorable little fruit is frowned upon on some diet plans. 14syns on slimming world for a whole avocado. 5sp per 50g on weight watchers. They may be high in fat but it's good fat and not to mention them being a good source of potassium, vitamin k, E, folate and pantothenic acid.

Gorgeous - I would love that. Such a lovely tasty combination. Yum!

because SW and WW are not diet plans based on nutrition

I couldn’t have put it better myself 😃

Hey I agree, this is a gorgeous combination 😊

I'm also baffled why anybody should consider avocados "unhealthy". Excellent source of all the right fats IMO. One of my favourite in-a-hurry snacks is a tortilla wrap with a big bowl of guacamole on the side. We have these big chunky smooth-skinned avocados here; great for guacamole if you get them at peak ripeness.

[Hidden in reply to TheAwfulToad]

Never thought of having guacamole & a wrap as a snack before. Definitely one to try

I like quesadillas with avocado or guacamole, salsa, & refried beans: toss a tortilla in a hot pan for 30 seconds each side, then add a dollop of the above. Fold carefully so the gizzards don't fall out!

It should not be frowned upon as they are so much healthier than the so called low fat diet yogurts that some diets recommend you eat and are no syns whatsoever. I honestly think they need to look at their diets more closely.

By the way, looks yummy to me.

I agree. How they can make them almost a whole days worth of syns allowance is beyond me. They're far more filling and nutritious than the fat free fruity yogurts they endorse.

[BadHare in reply to Hidden]

Their diet;s based on making money from folks, who found it worked the first time, & think they can replicate it. I don't understand why people pay to be publicly humiliated for not loosing weight on an unsustainable diet. How many avocado's or other healthy foods would the shame club weekly membership buy?

[Hidden in reply to BadHare]

Five. I used to hate being put on the spot and asked how much do you want to lose next week? You got prizes for losing the most weight over a two week period which the members donated. It was like you were in a competition as to who could lose the most weight whether it was a healthy weight loss or not.

[BadHare in reply to Hidden]

That's a week's worth of sourdough & two avocados!

Much better than humiliation & worry!

[Hidden in reply to BadHare]

Ooh, talk about sourdough, I have some starter in the kitchen but it doesn't look that good at the moment. I have found a website where it details exactly what you should do so I am going to read through that later.

It's slow acting, Alicia, & takes days rather than hours to rise.

I'm sure it'll be delicious when it's ready!

Thank you Mel for the encouragement. I've printed some other instructions from the web as I researched into sourdough a bit more today.

I will post a photo on here once I have made a loaf.

Nom, nom! x

[Hidden in reply to BadHare]

Totally agree with you BadHare that they are making money from people who found it has worked before. This is not a healthy way of eating.

Calories aren't created equal. Better to count nutrients, & an avocado is full of good ones. I use them instead of butter.
