Avocados are naturally rich and buttery thanks to their high (but good-for-you) fat content -- and we can't get enough of them. Adding avocado to a sandwich can replace the need for mayonnaise. And eating it in the form of guacamole can tame your craving for butter.

Since this fruit (yes, it's technically a fruit) is so delicious, we want to include it in every meal. If you feel the same way, click through the slideshow below to see how you can sneak more avocado into your life.
