Healthy Eating with Avocado: The Superfood You Need in Your Diet

Are you looking for a way to add more healthy fats and nutrients to your diet? Look no further than the versatile and delicious avocado! Avocados are a superfood that are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, K, and B6. Here are some healthy ways to enjoy this amazing fruit:

  1. Guacamole: Make your own fresh guacamole by mashing avocado with lime juice, salt, and other ingredients of your choice, like diced tomatoes and cilantro. Serve with vegetables or whole grain chips for a delicious and healthy snack.
  2. Avocado Toast: Top whole grain toast with mashed avocado, a sprinkle of salt, and your favorite toppings, like sliced tomatoes, a fried egg, or smoked salmon.
  3. Salad Topper: Add diced avocado to your favorite salads for a boost of healthy fats and flavor. Try pairing avocado with spicy greens, like arugula, and a citrus vinaigrette.
  4. Smoothie Boost: Add avocado to your smoothies for a creamy texture and an extra dose of healthy fats. Try blending avocado with frozen fruit, almond milk, and a handful of greens for a delicious and nutritious smoothie.
  5. Sandwich Filling: Use mashed avocado as a healthy spread for sandwiches instead of mayonnaise. Fill your sandwich with other healthy ingredients, like turkey, cheese, and veggies.

Eating avocado in these healthy ways is a great way to get the nutrients and healthy fats your body needs. So, why not start incorporating avocado into your diet today? Your taste buds and your body will thank you!

I. love. avocados.

They are seriously my favorite food ever. They probably even deserve their own food group.

When I figured out how to make an egg stuffed avocado in my pressure cooker I was beyond thrilled.

Cooking an avocado with an egg baked inside is something I have tried to do in the oven so many times and failed. Y’all this method made it super easy!

With how much I love my Instant Pot, I was surprised at how little I have broken this bad boy out for breakfast.

Which, by the way, is just as delicious as it looks!

After making her Bacon-Asparagus Strata, a light bulb kind of went off on how I could make eggs in an avocado boat in the Instant Pot.

I could use a bowl or steamer within the inner pot to support them…and it worked!

I simply popped these egg stuffed avocados into my Instant Pot and went about my morning routine.

Easy peasy and delicious!

Alrighty y’all, let’s get cooking!

Instant Pot Egg Stuffed Avocado

  • 9 Freestyle Smart Points

To make these Breakfast Stuffed Avocados Weight Watchers friendly, use low-point cheese and turkey bacon

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 4 medium eggs
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ c. Cheddar Jack Cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 c. bacon crumbles

Optional Garnish:

Chives or green onions (green parts only), sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to carefully remove some of the avocado flesh around the pit to create more space for the egg.

  2. Place the avocado halves into the steaming basket.
  3. Add 1 cup (0.24 l) of water to the Instant Pot. Lower the steaming basket with the avocados into the pressure cooker.
  4. Crack one egg into a measuring cup with a pour spout and then carefully transfer the egg into one of the prepared avocado halves.
  5. Repeat this process with the remaining avocado halves and eggs. Season each with salt and black pepper, to taste.
  6. Top each avocado half with shredded Cheddar Jack cheese and crispy bacon pieces.
  7. Please secure the lid on the Instant Pot and ensure the vent is sealed. Set it to “Manual/High” and cook for 4 minutes.
  8. Once done cooking, quickly release the pressure before unlocking the lid.
  9. Remove the avocados from the pressure cooker and garnish with chives or sliced green onions, if desired.
