Twitter Absolutely Loses It Over 'Evil' Avocado Macaroni And Cheese Recipe

Macaroni and cheese is a sacred dish for many folks, which is why the latest attempt to make it “healthier” is being met with fire.

Last week, Twitter  account @TheFitFood posted a video version  of a 2015 PopSugar recipe  for avocado mac and cheese . The hot dish features two whole avocados, lots of whole-wheat macaroni and relatively little cheese.

Not only does the recipe involve heating up avocado   which is basically a crime  in itself but it calls for only goat cheese  and low-fat mozzarella, with no mention of the usual cheddar.

Twitter couldn’t handle the defilement:

To be fair, PopSugar isn’t the only one with an avocado mac and cheese recipe: Plenty of food bloggers  have posted versions of it, as well as Allrecipes  and, of course, the California Avocado Commission . The Kitchn suggests adding chopped avocado to boxed mac and cheese  as an “upgrade.”

And it’s certainly not the first time people have attempted healthier takes on the classic dish. There are plenty of recipes for butternut squash mac and cheese  floating around the web ; “The Chew” calls it a viewer favorite . 

We’ll keep our tricked-out macaroni recipes  avo-free for now, thanks.
