- Hey, guys.
Cassey here.
So, today on Cheap, Clean Eats
I've straightened my hair.
I saw that you liked it last time so I did it again.
I really do appreciate the beauty tips
because you know that is not my category.
Today on Cheap, Clean Eats we are
playing with avocados!
I am in love with this guy.
He keeps me full, he keeps me happy
and he's so delicious.
So today I wanna share with you six different
ways you can have fun eating with avocado.
And I'm not just talking about guacamole.
I'm talking about some really cool recipes here.
Now before we get started I wanna
ask you a quick question.
Is a avocado a fruit or a vegetable?
Pause the video put a comment below. Do it, do it, do it.
Okay, now you're back.
An avocado is actually a fruit.
And it's not just any type of fruit
it's a single seeded berry.
Whoa!
Mind was blown.
Okay, you guys ready?
Let's get this video started.
Start out with two slices of toasted
Ezekiel bread then grab a ripe avocado
and scoop out the center.
Make sure it's nice and soft so when
you spread it on it's like butter.
Or jam, whatever you prefer on your bread.
You can find Ezekiel bread in the frozen
aisle of your supermarket.
Grab a tomato.
Slice it up real nice.
Then grab one of those slices,
place it right on top of the center.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bam!
You've got breakfast in under five minutes.
The reason why I love Ezekiel bread is
because it's made from sprouted grains
and it keeps my belly happy and not bloated.
Let's make some baked avo-egg cups.
First, slice your avocado.
Let them dance.
And then take out the seed.
Look at those knife skills.
Yeah, you bet I did that.
All right, now take out around half
of the inside so that you have enough
room to place your egg inside.
Now what you wanna do is try to get
the yolk in first and then cover with the white.
Don't let it spill out.
Aww, man I failed.
Okay, let's try again.
Come on, come on.
Yes, perfect look at that beauty.
Place in the oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
And bam!
Here they are looking so good.
Then you wanna chop some fresh chives
and sprinkle it on top or garnish with
whatever you would like.
Grab a spoon and let's have brekky.
Wait.
Hot sauce.
I put sriracha on everything.
This is a healthy meal that will keep
me full and satiated for a while
until lunch comes around.
Also, don't forget to take a picture for Pinterest.
A is for avocado.
B is for banana.
I peel it from this side.
People say I'm wrong but monkeys and me
we're on the same page.
Then go ahead and add in some baby
spinach and coconut water.
Obviously I didn't squeeze that coconut water.
Then add add ice to make sure that
you're smoothie is nice and cold.
Now this is excellent for breakfast.
There's carbs from the banana to give you energy.
And also the banana and the avocado provide
a lot of potassium.
So, if you have any inflammation this
drink will really help with that.
This honestly tastes so good.
It's like a Yolo milkshake except it's not.
You've got to try it.
Peekaboo!
Have you ever had collard greens?
Apparently they make a great fan.
Filling ingredients will include some
Persian cucumber, some red cabbage which I
always wanna call purple cabbage.
It looks so pretty.
And some tomatoes.
But really you can put whatever you want
as long as it taste good to you.
Next, I'm going to add some hummus
all over the bottom so that all the
ingredients have somewhere to stick to
and so that the collard green wrap
will not unroll.
This is where Mr. Avocado comes in.
He adds that nice full and creamy flavor.
Then roll it up just like you would a burrito.
Make sure to go nice and tight.
Give a slice.
This is so legit.
Look at that.
Lots of fresh vegetables in this cruciferous wrap.
It's gonna make your hair and skin
and nails look real nice.
Ooh, it tastes so good.
I want you to get two low-carb soft
tortillas for this quesadilla.
Then mush and spread on half an avocado.
This is going to be your cheese.
But check out what we do next.
You grab some nutritional yeast and sprinkle
it on to give it that nice cheesy flavor.
Then some diced tomatoes.
Some chives or green onion.
Place the other half on top.
Take it to the stove and bring it back.
It was on the stove for a couple minutes each side
or until my tortilla got nice, crispy golden brown.
Now we take pics for Insta.
And there it is.
Look at those nutritionals.
If you don't make this I'm going to be so mad at you.
Wanna bite?
Go make some.
First, I'm pouring some raw almonds
in to my blender.
Then I'm crushing it and saving it
for later for the topping.
Next, add you avocado.
Your almond milk and a tablespoon of honey
for the sweetness.
You could also sub it with Stevia if you would like.
Next, we blend it up.
We have a little dance.
We have fun, we wait.
And then it becomes a creamy magical pudding.
Top with your almonds and dip that spoon in.
Remember this makes two servings so you
can share it with a lucky friend.
Or you can be a little selfish and save
it for yourself in the fridge for later.
So, what did you guys think of that video format?
Usually I'm talking to you while I'm cooking.
But this time I wanted to do the voiceover.
So, just let me know below.
I just wanted to try something new.
I love trying new things.
Also, which of those recipes do you want to try?
Literally they were all so good.
I would have to say that my favorite
were definitely the toast in the beginning.
And then also the quesadilla.
That one was insane!
It blew my mind.
You literally have to try it.
And if you do I so wanna see a picture.
