rhibee don't read this!!!!!!!

I just ate an avocado in seconds flat. It was extremely easy to eat with braces. And extremely delicious. If braces-induced anorexia is knocking on the door, avocados might be an option.

Can't eat avocado...gives me severe stomach cramps within an hour of eating some. but I know some people who love avocado and scrambled eggs which sounds very brace friendly.

I've been adding avocado to a lot lately. It's makes me feel so much better when I eat soft things and they go down so easily and i don't feel like half of it has gotten caught in my braces

Kiwi fruit is super easy to eat too! ahhh love lol - just cutting the skin off is a pain

My mum eats them like that too! In special boxes of kiwifruit they give you a plastic spoon that has a jagged edge on the other side to work asa knife, I can never find one though lol

I havent had any trouble with the seeds yet, well that I can notice anyways

Just a few days before I had my braces put on, my parents came back from CA with a bunch of HUGE avocados from my brother's tree. They were wonderful! The timing couldn't have been more perfect.

My Paleo diet friends LOVE avocado omelets! I bet they would make an awesome braces-friendly breakfast.

I read (on Wikipedia, consider the source) that sailors would use avocado instead of butter. Seems to me an avocado would go bad almost as fast as butter, though.

I think avocados taste disgusting. If you like them, then eat away!
