VIDEO: You’ll Never Get This Avocado Beat Out of Your Head
The documentary What the Health and the animal rights action-adventure Okja—both of which are available on Netflix—were released months ago, but the two films STILL have folks ditching meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and other animal-derived foods. But when it comes to eating vegan, the number one question on most meat-eaters’ minds is “What do you eat?” Watch the video below—a collaboration between PETA and recording artist, DJ, and animal activist Charlotte Devaney—to find out how an avocado can answer this question many times over. Then, read on to discover the best recipes for “avocadovores” who want to think outside the guac.
Did you know that avocados contain nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and B vitamins? The versatile fruit can be grilled, puréed, chopped, fried, or used as a healthy (and vegan!) substitute for buttery spreads in baking. These recipes will have you running to the supermarket to stock up on avocados and singing along to Devaney’s catchy tune while you shop.
