Prepare the Pit: Rinse the avocado pit thoroughly to remove any residue. Allow it to dry completely before using it in your blender.
Cut the Pit: Using a knife, carefully cut the pit into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for your blender to handle.
Blend with Ingredients: Add the pit pieces to your blender along with your favorite fruits or vegetables. A combination of banana, spinach, and apple can create a delicious, nutrient-packed smoothie.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The robust blender will break down the pit into fine particles, integrating it seamlessly into your drink.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy. You’ll be getting a powerful nutritional boost with every sip.
For Regular Blenders
If your blender isn’t as powerful, don’t worry. You can still enjoy the benefits of avocado pits by drying and grinding them into a fine powder.
Instructions:
Dry the Pit: Rinse the avocado pit and let it air dry for several days. Alternatively, you can use a dehydrator or an oven set to a low temperature to speed up the drying process.
Grind into Powder: Once the pit is completely dry, use a coffee grinder or a food processor to grind it into a fine powder. Be patient, as this can take some time.
Incorporate into Recipes: Use the avocado pit powder as a nutritional boost in smoothies, yogurt, or even baked goods. It’s a versatile ingredient that can enhance many dishes.
No Blender? No Problem
If you don’t have a blender or grinder, you can still use avocado pits by grating them.
Instructions:
Grate the Pit: Using a fine grater, grate the dried avocado pit into small particles. This method requires some elbow grease but is effective in making the pit usable.
Add to Recipes: Sprinkle the grated pit onto salads, soups, or even cereal for an added nutrient boost. It can be used sparingly due to its tannin content.
