11 ways with avocado

May 31, 2021 • In Mains, Fruit, Vegetable,

Creamy, nutty and gorgeously green – avocados are delicious for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Here are our 5 fave avocado recipes.

With a wonderfully creamy texture, avocados pair perfectly with a variety of foods, and their subtle taste makes them a brilliant match for bolder flavours. Well-known as the ultimate millennial breakfast, they’re also incredibly versatile. When it comes to avocado recipes, we love them smashed on toast, they can be mashed into guacamole, griddled, baked or even turned into a dessert — their fat content makes them a great alternative to butter when baking.

Avocados are a source of vitamin E, needed for cell protection, and high in unsaturated fats, which help to keep our blood cholesterol healthy and protect us against heart disease.

From simple lunches to indulgent desserts, our favourite avocado recipes have something for everyone.
