My New Avocado Obsession

In my journey to better health, I came across a raw food dish called Energy Soup. Basically you blend avocado, sprouts, lettuce, and a few other veggies plus Rejuvelac-( a smelly fermented liquid). I tried it and it was okay but not tasty enough to keep me making it. It is suppose to be fantastic for your skin and weightloss but I just haven't found the right combination of ingredients.

In the meantime, I have become addicted to avocados. I have been literally eating them everyday and just can't seem to get enough of them. At the moment, I am eating them on crackers mixed with finely chopped garlic, cilantro, and Casero- a soft cheese by El Mexicano.  Love it! Eventually I will drop the cheese and try concocting my own version of Energy Soup. 

I have read a number of accounts of how helpful the energy soup has been with eliminating a wealth of addictive behaviors including smoking. That captured my interest and since my attempts at cold turkey have left me going back and forth with quiting and starting back up,  I am ready to try this natural remedy. 

No clue why I have this current avocado addiction, but of the addictions one could have, this isn't too bad. I am hoping that I may start to see some serious health benefits from this addiction. If I quit smoking in the process, I will be screaming the results from the rooftops!! Will keep you informed of my progress.

I have to admit, i've got a penchant for a daily avocado - the only thing I find is how quick they go from just ripe to squishy - its all in the timing!!

I totally agree. Lately my timing has been pretty good but I can't wait to long to eat what I but before the "squish" factor becomes an issue!
