10 Avocado Items for the Avocado Lover!


by sparkgal

--------

     Ah, the avocado. A green fruit containing a single, large pit. It is apparently a type of berry, but for the sake of things, we'll just call it a fruit. The flavor of the avocado is rather difficult to describe. Not exactly sweet, but not quite savory either... the avocado is truly the most unique fruit. From various foods, to beauty products, to other oddities, the avocado is a very diverse fruit that deserves to be celebrated!

     In fact, they are so worth celebrating, here are 10 avocado related items you can find throughout Neopia!

     1. Avocado Cookbook:

     

     If you are a true lover of avocados, then this cookbook is for you! There are so many different delicious recipes you can make from avocados. Some dishes like guacamole and avocado fries star avocados as the main ingredient; however, avocados are also great additions to salads and pair well with different types of meat.

     2. Avocado Deviled Eggs:

     

     These deviled eggs are probably one of the recipes you can find in the aforementioned cookbook! Finely diced avocado cubes are carefully mixed with the cooked egg yolk, then stuffed back into the halved hard boiled egg white. A light sprinkling of paprika makes the perfect final touch to this appetizer. Easy to make and serve, this Avocado Deviled Eggs are a most popular dish to bring to parties.

     3. Tasty Gumacaole:

     

     Of course, the guacamole is going to be on this list. After all, when someone thinks about avocados, the first dish that usually comes to mind is a large bowl of tasty guacamole. One of the most famous recipes in the Avocado Cookbook, the guacamole consists of smooshed avocados and finely diced tomatoes and onions. Add a bit of salt, pepper, and lime and this is the perfect dish. The guacamole is even garnished with a slice of lime and a sprig of cilantro. For Neopets with more adventurous taste buds, there is always the option of adding a couple jalapeƱo peppers to give the guacamole a spicier kick!

     4. Large Avocado Smoothie:

     

     Not quite a food item, the Large Avocado Smoothie is something edible to enjoy. While not as sweet as a banana smoothie or a chocolate milkshake, avocado smoothies have their own unique flavor. Blending the avocado allows its subtle flavors to really shine. To make this delicious drink, simply put sliced avocado, a cup of milk, and some ice into a blender. This drink is definitely not for everyone, after all, some people believe that avocados are better eaten. However, if you wanted to give this a try, it's definitely a healthy drink to add to your diet.

     5. Avocado Ice Lolly:

     

     Maybe if smoothies aren't your thing, you could try enjoying an Avocado Ice Lolly! A delicious treat to enjoy on a hot summer day, the Avocado Ice Lolly can be enjoyed at home or on the beach at Mystery Island. The process to making an Avocado Ice Lolly is quite similar to making an Avocado Smoothie. The only difference is that instead of drinking said smoothie right away, pour it into different plastic cups, stick a popsicle stick in the center, and put the cups into the freezer. Wait a few hours, and voila! You have refreshing Avocado Ice Lollies to share.

     6. Avocado Baby Food:

     

     Do you believe that no one is too young to eat avocados? Well, then feed some Avocado Baby Food to your baby Neopet! Trust me, they will enjoy it immensely! It's never too early to make your Neopet fall in love with avocados, so the Avocado Baby Food is perfect. Maybe if everyone feeds their baby pets avocados, we can create an army of avocado lovers to take over the worl- ahem I mean... spread the love for avocados.

     7. Avocado Socks:

     

     Aside from all the foods and treats you can make from avocados... you can also show off your avocado pride with this pair of funky socks. These beautiful green socks boast an avocado pattern. They also keep your Neopets' paws warm and fuzzy during the winter. The heels of the socks appear to be reinforced with thicker fabric, ensuring that these socks last longer without suffering any wear and tear. Finally, an elastic band at the top of the socks prevents these socks from sliding off inside your shoes. After all, we all know how annoying that is!

     8. Avocado Bath Bomb:

     

     Maybe simply wearing socks isn't enough. Maybe you want to smell like avocados too! What better way to achieve that than through a luxurious Avocado Bath Bomb. The bath bomb itself appears to be quite glittery, but simply run a tub of warm water, drop the avocado bath bomb inside, and relax into a soothing green foam. Maybe even take a nap in the water and dream many avocado related dreams! Avocado is good for the fur too, so definitely have your Neopets soak up all those nutrients and watch their fur glow.

     9. Under ripe and Overripe Avocado Bombs:

     

     Very different from the Bath Bomb, the Avocado Bombs are dangerous weapons. They might seem like a bit of a waste, but keep in mind that these avocados are under ripe and overripe. All avocado lovers know that avocados have to be perfectly ripe for the ultimate flavor and texture. Under ripe avocados taste rather grainy, and those that are overripe often become mushy, brown messes. And what better way to knock some sense into the non-avocado lover than throwing explosive avocados at them? Not such a waste now huh?

     10. Magical Avocado Chia Pop:

     

     What's the ultimate way to pay tribute to the brilliance that is the avocado? How about turning one of your pets into an avocado? Feeding your Chia this Magical Chia Pop will transform them into a fabulous Avocado Chia! You better keep a close eye on them though, you don't want someone accidentally turning them into guacamole!

      Well, there you have it, all the best items throughout Neopia to show off your avocado love! But really, there should be at least hundred more avocado related items!
