Spread on celery, jicama, or flax crackers. Or just cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, sprinkle with a little sea salt, and eat with a spoon. Slice or chop into pieces for use in salads, wraps, soups, or any salty dish. Avocado is even delicious in fruit salads!

Add more orange juice or water if needed. Tammy is a sports coach, certified raw food chef, nutri- tional educator and personal trainer.
