Totally fair — avocado isn’t for everyone!

Here are some great healthy fat substitutes that work in its place:

🥑 Avocado Substitutes (for Healthy Fats):

  • Nut butters (e.g., almond, peanut, cashew) – natural, no added sugar

  • Nuts/seeds – walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds

  • Olives or olive tapenade

  • Hummus – especially with whole grain toast or crackers

  • Tahini – great drizzled on toast or mixed in dressings

  • Full-fat Greek yogurt – adds fat + protein

  • Egg yolks – don’t skip ‘em if you’re eating eggs

Would you prefer a customized version of the 1-day food plan without avocado in it? 


Here’s a revised 1-day food plan (no avocado, no problem) — still focused on keeping your blood sugar steady and energy up all day.


🥣 1-Day Blood Sugar-Stabilizing Meal Plan (No Avocado)

🕗 Breakfast (8am)

  • 2 eggs (scrambled or boiled)

  • 1 slice sprouted grain or whole wheat toast

  • 1 tbsp natural peanut butter on the toast

  • Black coffee or herbal tea
    Healthy fat from peanut butter, protein from eggs = slow burn energy


🕚 Snack (11am)

  • 1 apple or banana

  • 10–12 almonds or walnuts


🕑 Lunch (1–2pm)

  • Grilled chicken (or lentils if veg)

  • Quinoa or brown rice

  • Mixed greens or chopped veggie salad

  • Olive oil + lemon vinaigrette (healthy fats from the dressing)


🕓 Snack (4pm)

  • Full-fat plain Greek yogurt

  • Small handful of berries
    Optional: Sprinkle with flaxseed or sunflower seeds for extra fat/fiber


🕖 Dinner (6–7pm)

  • Baked salmon (or tofu stir-fry)

  • Roasted sweet potato or wild rice

  • Steamed green beans or spinach

  • Drizzle tahini or olive oil on veggies


🛏️ Evening Snack (if needed)

  • 1 square dark chocolate (85%+)

  • Chamomile tea
    Keeps you from craving late-night sugar
