What are the benefits of avocado?
Avocados are rich in potassium (more than bananas!) and are full of healthy fats. Avocados are also rich in oleic acid which has been linked to brain health and cognition.
They are packed with nutrients and anti-oxidants that help with heart health, cancer prevention and lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
If that isn’t enough, they are also loaded with fiber to help keep you full so you’re less likely to overeat less healthy things.
They are pretty much the perfect health food!
What can I make with an avocado?
SO MANY THINGS.
Seriously. Avocados are so versatile. You can use them in both sweet and savory recipes.
Guacamole is amazing but it’s not the only thing you can make with avocados (though if you need a good guacamole recipe, I’ve got you covered below).
Is avocado good for breakfast?
YOU BET. You can put it in a smoothie, eat it drizzled with honey, or of course, avocado toast. Oh, you need the perfect avocado toast recipe? I’ve got that for you too. Read on!

How to eat avocado
Slice carefully into the skin, until you hit the pit. Slide the knife around the entire avocado lengthwise. Then pull the two halves apart. Use a spoon to gently pry the pit out of the fruit and VIOLA!

Avocado Chocolate Pudding (vegan, paleo, gluten-free) - Imagelicious.com
This avocado banana chocolate pudding from Imageolicious looks so luscious, you would never know that it has avocado in it. It's the perfect way to use up overripe bananas and avocados. It's pudding but it's so healthy you can even have it for breakfast. And bonus, this recipe is VEGAN too!
The texture is almost like an avocado mousse. So rich and decadent.
You can pretty much bet that I'm gonna love anything in an egg roll, and these avocado egg rolls from Savorytooth are no exception. These little bites of heaven are also vegan and they are based on the Cheesecake Factory's avocado egg rolls.
I haven't tried them (or the ones these are inspired by) yet, but based on the fact that my tummy was rumbling just looking at the photos, I think I'm probably gonna devour them.
I don't know what Elote is, I have never had a Mexican corn dip before, but right now this has me wondering where this has been all my life because HOLY GUACAMOLE (see what I did there?) that looks good. This recipe is inspired by Mexican street corn and I gotta say I think I have been missing out! This is a simple avocado recipe from Honey + Lime that is sure to please the whole crowd.
Baked Avocado Tacos with Boom Boom Sauce | Simply Made Recipes
3 words that will get me to try anything: Boom Boom Sauce. Yes. SO much yes. This baked avocado taco recipe from Simply Made Recipes looks absolutely phenomenal. I would never have thought to use avocado this way, and it's the perfect Meatless Monday meets Taco Tuesday dish. I cannot WAIT to try this one!
My low carb and paleo friends, I haven't forgotten about you! Wholesome Yum has these incredible BLT Stuffed Avocados that are to dieeee for. You guys know that Mr. Frugality and I try to eat low carb whenever we can (you can find some of our favorite low carb recipes here) so I wanted to make sure that some of these avocado recipes were appropriate for a low carb diet.
This one's another low carb recipe for avocado lovers! Diabetic Foodie has a positively mouth-watering recipe for Shrimp Salad Stuffed avocados. This is one I have not tried yet, but it is on my list. I even suspect Mr. Frugality (who is not a huge fan of avocados in general) would absolutely love this. You could even try crab or tuna in place of the shrimp if that's all you have on hand.
Ok so you probably don't really need an avocado toast recipe. It's pretty self explanatory right? Sure, but this avocado toast recipe has kale guacamole and balsamic vinegar.
Have I got your attention yet?
Think of your favorite avocado toast, but with a sophisticated elevation courtesy of Know Your Produce.
This one might not have avocado in the title, but this recipe from Courtney's Sweets still has thick chunks of creamy avocado piled on top.
Guys, do you SEE this salad? This is next-level salad right here. I have made a similar salad in the past, but it doesn't come close to this one. The grilled onion and roasted corn just take this salad right over the top.
Of course the obvious suggestion for how to use an avocado is to make fresh guacamole. Duh. And of course guacamole is easy and can be made 10,000 different ways.
But when you try this fresh guacamole (again from Courtney's Sweets) you won't want to make another guac recipe ever. Trust me.
I want to swan dive into this bowl right now. Hold my calls.
If you were to say to me "Rose, what is the last thing you would ever think to make using an avocado?", POPSICLES would be pretty high on that list. But I'll be damned if A Grande Life hasn't got me jonesing for one of these badboys right now.
If you partake in adult beverages, can you imagine adding a little tequila and salt here? It's like your margarita and your guacamole all in one. What could be a more perfectly refreshing summer treat?
Mr. Frugality loves himself a nice poached egg, and even though he's not a big avocado fan, I suspect he would devour these in no time. Turns out there's more avocado breakfast recipes than just avocado toast!
This avocado eggs benedict recipe from The Starving Chef really brings home that runny yolk poached egg experience. I can't think of a better weekend breakfast to savor while sipping a hot cup of coffee and stealing a few quiet moments before the day begins, can you?
