I love avocados. They are healthy and delicious. A great addition to salads, homemade dressings, and even on a sandwich. But I found myself wasting a lot of avocados because eating such small portions, I couldn't eat them before they went bad.

Just like bananas, avocados are one of those things that go too far in the ripe direction in a hurry. And even when stored in the fridge, they turn brown quickly.

But then I found a solution. Freeze! By that I don't mean stop eating them. I mean literally put them in the freezer. Yes, you can freeze avocados! 

• Just remove the peel and the skin.
• Freeze, whole, cubed or mashed or make quacamole.
• Add lime or lemon juice if desired.
• Place in bags or jars and freeze. 

Remember, when freezing long-term in glass, make sure its tempered (the type used for canning) or specifically labeled for freezing purposes. Freezer safe glass can crack as food expands, so always leave about 1-inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.

Any way you freeze them, it works. No browning. Just thaw and enjoy. 

Yes, you can eat them. It's true that avocados are higher in fat, but it's the healthier plant kind, so with small portions you can still enjoy them. Keeping fats to around 5 grams per meal will help eliminate dumping. For example, 1/3 of an avocado equals 8 fat grams. Eating the right portion of plant based fats is good for you. Avocados have tremendous health benefits. (On the left hand side bar you can search my post for the benefits of eating the 5 healthy fats.) 

Yes, you can. You have many more miles to go!
