4 Avocado of the Month Clubs + Unique Avocado Gift Baskets

The first known avocados are believed to date back as far as 7,000 – 5,000 BC. But it wasn’t until 1871 when Judge, R.B. Ord of Santa Monica, California, finally introduced this delicious fruit to the United States.

The avocado’s name underwent a multitude of changes as it was introduced to new cultures. The name the Aztecs used for avocado was unpronounceable to the Spanish conquistadores, so it was renamed aguacate, and when added to the English language, it became the Avocado.

Avocados are not only tasty but, they also have several health benefits:

  • Heart Healthy
  • Fights Depression
  • Nutrient and Vitamin Rich
  • Cancer Preventive
  • Aids in the prevention of and helps treat Osteoporosis
  • Improve Digestive Health
  • Antimicrobial fights off E-Coli
  • boost fat intake for the keto diet

In addition to adding much-needed nutrients, avocados can replace bad fats with good fats. Some great ways to use avocados are listed below.

  • Can be used instead of mayonnaise or sour cream
  • Ice Cream Substitute
  • It can be added to almost any dish such as eggs, burgers, smoothies, and sushi
  • It can replace fats in baking
  • It can be made into salad dressing replacing oils
  • It can replace potatoes as a low carb snack, served raw, baked, or grilled.
  • Low Carb Hummus or pancakes

So, if you, or someone you love is changing or living a healthier lifestyle, a great way to support them is to gift them with an avocado of the month club membership. If avocados aren’t their thing, a fruit of the month club might be.

Honestly though, for me, these clubs have nothing to do with health. For me, I just love fresh avocado, and I’m fascinated by all the varieties you can’t buy in the store. There are over 500 varieties of avocado, so there’s a lot more out there than just Hass and Mexicola.

This gift may sound a bit a goofy, but if you know an avocado-obsessed person, they’ll love it. A monthly avocado subscription will remind them that you are thinking about them all year long.
