One good way to get more avocados in one's diet: take an avocado and remove the skin and pit. (Those stickers that some supermarkets use that say "Ripe when soft" are very helpful to ignorami like me.) Throw in a blender. Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and three tablespoons of honey. (Or if you don't have food sensitivities, you could just add three or four tablespoons of Quik or chocolate syrup.) Add water to cover (I use distilled, but I'm a little barmy on the subject) and hit Smear. OK, it's probably Puree, but my single-serve blender only has one button and I can't say for sure which button it would be equivalent to on a more sophisticated blender.
It's the best thing ever. Only drawback is that you may never sleep again. It's the law-abiding person's cocaine. Also, if you eat as much as you're going to want to, you might start cramping up. Avocado is a vasoconstrictor, meaning that your circulation is going to get a bit less good. I'm pretty sure that chocolate is a vasodilator, meaning it would counteract that effect. Maybe you should add more chocolate. Another vasodilator is cucumber, which is why my lunchtime shake is 1/4 of an avocado, 1/4 of a seeded cucumber (seeded because otherwise the acid reflux is incredible) and frozen fruit, preferably pineapple. MMMMMM! Regardless, if you start feeling funny after eating too much avocado chocolate pudding, eating a cucumber (with vinegar, again to combat reflux) might fix that.
Finally, I must mention again that Avocado Chocolate Pudding would be the best band name ever.
