Not to be a millennial, but avocados are bomb. They're versatile, creamy, and packed full of healthy fats and nutrients. But don't be fooled - there's a lot more to them than guacamole. Here are seven ways you can swap an avocado into your daily treats—and avocadon't judge them by their looks.

1. Avocado toast

This one's a classic. Scoop out some green and spread it on a crunchy piece of toast and you have a yummy and nutritious breakfast or snack. Add toppings at your discretion.

2. Avocado with seasoning (whatever you have!)

My personal fav for this is Everything But The Bagel blend from Trader Joes. Just like it sounds, it's the yummy seasoning on the outside of an everything bagel. Slice an avocado in half, sprinkle a little on, and all you need is a spoon and you're good to go. Buy the blend here and go on your merry way.

3. Baked egg in an avocado

People make some really weird faces when I bring this one up. But I promise: it's so good and so good for you. Scoop out the pit of the avocado, crack an egg in the hole, and place it in the oven until the egg looks done. Top with salt and whatever else you like for a delicious and filling breakfast or snack.

4. Avocado ice cream

I know, I know. It sounds (and looks) really weird. But I promise it's tasty. With only a handful of ingredients other than avocados, it's pretty simple and much healthier than your typical frozen treat. Here's a good recipe to keep on hand.

5. Avocado and tuna

Another recipe of simple swaps to make a classic tastier and healthier. Just mash an avocado in with the tuna instead of mayonnaise and you've got a fun twist on everyone's favorite lunch.

6. Avocado pasta

This one lets you play around with a classic alfredo for something a little lighter. Mash some avocado with lemon juice, garlic, and basil, and you have a savory sauce that's packed full of nutrients.

7. Avocado brownies

And dessert to cap it all off. Not only does this make for a denser and fudgier brownie than the classics, but it also turns the sweet vegan, too. Swap the eggs for half an avocado and you won't even be able to tell the difference.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
