Avocado really is a super food. Not just because of all of the nutritional benefits, but because there is so much you can do with it. No longer confined to Mexican food, you can put it in an omelette, turn it in to ice cream, make a chocolate dessert with it, add it to chilli or turn it in to a soup. Here are 30 avocado recipes for you to try.
We are HUGE fans of avocado here at Hungry Healthy Happy. Even just with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt and eaten with a spoon it is a great snack. But, there is SO much more you can do with it. So, if you have ever wondered how to eat avocado - we have got you covered.
We are sharing 30 of our favourite avocado recipes that show just how versatile this fruit is. Think you don't like avocado? Give some of these a try, as there are sure to change your mind.
If you have never tried avocado before, these recipes are a great place to start and if you are already a fan of avocado, then I am sure you will enjoy all of these avocado recipes!
