Simple Avocado Dishes to Celebrate National Avocado Day

Avocado Snacks(made in 10 minutes or less!)

Guacamole

When people think of avocados, guacamole is often the first thing that comes to mind. Guacamole is a classic fan favorite of avocado lovers. It’s extremely easy to make as it requires very few ingredients and hardly any time at all to make. Love and Lemons’ “Best Guacamole” recipe is creamy and tangy. It pairs well with crackers, potatoes, tortilla chips or as a salad dressing.

Avocado Smoothie

Since avocados have a naturally thick consistency, adding it to a smoothie will bring out an especially velvety and smooth texture.

Avocados have a high amount of healthy fats and a low carbohydrate, which makes it convenient to incorporate avocados into a keto diet. You only need 3 or 4 ingredients to make Arman’s keto avocado smoothie.

If you prefer masking the avocado taste a bit in your smoothie, this recipe from wellplated.com requires just a few more ingredients. This smoothie gives you the added nutritional benefits of incorporating spinach and flaxseed meal.

Spicy Avocado Snack

Those who are fond of spicy foods will enjoy this peppery avocado snack. Adding lemon, hot sauce, and salt gives an ordinary avocado a kick and creates a delicious and filling snack.

Avocado Main Dish Recipes

Avocado Tacos

With only a few ingredients and 15 minutes to spare, you can whip up this simple avocado recipe for a tasty last-minute dinner. This dish takes its inspiration from a Mexican al pastor-stuffed avocado. Adding cilantro as a garnish gives the dish a fresh and citrusy taste.

Avocado Slaw

With crunchy cabbage, carrots and peppers, this slaw makes for a refreshing summer side dish. It’s also packed full of nutrients and vitamins from a variety of vegetables that are used like edamame, which is high in protein and minerals. This recipe is taken from the Avocados From Mexico website, a trustworthy source when it comes to avocados.

Avocado Pizza

This simple California veggie and avocado pizza is a great option for those on a vegetarian diet. It features bell peppers, fresh basil, goat cheese and of course — avocado.

Avocado Desserts

Avocado desserts might sound a bit weird, but you’d be surprised how well they can pair with sweet flavors.

Avocado Ice Cream

Making avocado ice cream can actually be very straightforward. You just need a few ingredients and a bit of patience for the ice cream to freeze. Feel Good Foodie’s recipe is paleo-friendly and vegan, and it doesn’t require an ice cream maker.

If you do have an ice cream maker, this recipe from the Food Network website is a good place to start. The squeeze of lemon juice gives it a little tang.

Chocolate Avocado Cookies

Filled with chocolate chips and cocoa powder, you’ll get a rich, moist cookie when you bake this dessert. These cookies use avocados instead of butter as a healthy alternative and with just 3.3 grams of sugar per cookie, they’re much better for you than the typical cookie recipe.
