BlueAvocado founders: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?

You’re not the only one who can’t remember reusable bags when you go to the grocery store. Three hip, enlightened Austinites — Paige Davis, Amy George and Melissa Nathan — realized about a year ago that one way to help shoppers remember bags is to make them small enough to fit into a purse or glove compartment and cool enough to want to show off in the store. BlueAvocado reusable bags were born.


Paige, in the pink shirt at right, says the bags made out of recycled materials have only been on the market for a month, but already they are grabbing the spotlight. You can either buy kits (they start at $24.99) or individual bags ($7.99 for produce bags up to $19.99 for insulated or carry-all bags), which fit inside each other and condense down into about a wallet-size roll. “Each bag has its own function, but they all fit together,” she says. You can buy them at several H-E-Bs around Central Texas and on their Web site, www.blueavocado.com.

As the singleton of the group whose refrigerator is hypothetically the most photogenic, Paige was picked to show off her fridge.

What three things are always in your fridge?
Paige: hummus, soymilk, peanut butter (creamy)
Amy: Austin Farmers’ Market seasonal veggies, Feta cheese, apple juice
Missy: lactose free milk, watermelon, organic cheeses sticks

What’s your favorite condiment?
Paige: tamari soy sauce
Amy: Ranch dressing
Missy: Taco Bell mild sauce (guilty pleasure)

What’s your favorite thing to do with avocados?
Paige: sprinkled with balsamic vinegar or a facial mask:-)
Amy: inside my husband Bill’s homemade guacamole (or fresh cut on top
of a bed of mixed salad greens)
Missy: We call it a “taco de nana” - black beans and cheese on a warmed tortilla with sliced avocados on top

I would really need to clean my fridge (and perhaps just get a new one) before it would be photo worthy.. haha.. that’s what I think every week when I see this :)
