The Problem: 2019 was the Year the Avocado Protein Powder Took Over the World
It started innocently enough. A few trendy fitness influencers on Instagram raving about the benefits of adding avocado to their morning smoothies. But soon, it spread like wildfire. Everyone and their aunt was mixing avocado into everything: oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, you name it. It was as if we had all lost our minds.
But what really happened was that we had lost our grip on reality. Avocado protein powder became the answer to all of our problems. It was the solution to our health woes, our energy needs, our desire for Instagram-worthy posts. We were convinced that it was the key to unlocking our full potential.
And then, the prices started to rise. And rise. And RISE. It was as if the avocado gods had decided to punish us for our gullibility.
But still, we persisted. We continued to buy, to mix, to drink. And with each passing day, our bank accounts grew smaller, our taste buds grew bored, and our social media feeds grew increasingly filled with #AvocadoLove.
