I know what you mean. Living in the midwest of course I never tasted one from the store that was ripened. I didn't know what ripe was. Out west we had better and can tolerate them, but not my favorite. If they just weren't that yukky green color. LOL 

I don't like guacamole either. 

1 tablespoon of Chia seeds have a similar macro count for net carbs and protein as a quarter of an avocado but with less fat. I am focusing on fiber these days so I use chia seeds soaked in water overnight in place of avocado. Much less expensive too 

@abbadabba thank you. I'll have to try to find some Chia seeds. 

Coconut instead of avocado might work for you. Word of caution, tho, coconut can have a mild laxative effect. I like both, but try to sneak at least a few avocados a week. Good health to you!  

@Phil, I'm positive if i listed coconut my mother would get it sweetened. After I'm able to get out to grocery shop again I'll see about getting some. Thank you. 

They require huge amounts of water to grow, and often come from areas with drought. You’re closer to environmental righteousness, by not eating them. I wish I didn’t love them!
