How’d it Taste?

  • David says:

    It says to dice half the avocado…does that mean dice one and mash the other? It seems like the recipe is written for one avocado, even though the ingredients list calls for two.

  • Destiny says:

    Mold the mixture into a 2-cup ring mold lined with plastic wrap or waxed paper. That’s the portion size.

  • Rose says:

    This recipe looks great and I would love it ~ but portion sizes are not suggested and one could gain weight EVEN ON healthy foods. Pls suggest portion sizes with calories.
