Substitution for avocado

[donnajo]

I have avocado on my new plan and since being sick I have not been able to get to the store to get some,so I have it in my next meal. What could I sub this one time that would be close?

Would olives work or peanut butter?

Donna, you can also put the avocados in a paper bag with an apple to quicken the ripening process. What I do is buy ones that are near ripe, and a ocuple others that will take longer, so by the time that the ripes ones are eaten, Ill still have some on hand and ready.

:ditto: I only go to Whole Foods once a week, but usuall select 1-2 avocados that are ripe/near ripe and can be eaten in the next 2 days and I buy the other ones a bit less ripe so that they have more time and are perfect by the time I eat them.
