Avocados are some of the most versatile fruits around! They are nutrient-rich, and have a distinctive smooth, buttery texture that melts in your mouth. For savory dishes, you can use avocados in salads and salad dressings, pastas and pasta sauces, sandwiches, tacos, sushi, on toast, or to make guacamole. Mashed avocado can be used in place of mayo in salads (like tuna or chicken salad) or as a stand-in for sour cream. For sweet dishes, you can use them to make smoothies, pudding, chocolate mousse, ice cream, or in pancake batter to increase nutrient content and create a thicker consistency! You can even use avocado to substitute oil, butter, or eggs in recipes for brownies or cakes, making the finished product extra moist and fudgy.
Avocados are not only delicious in many ways, but are packed with healthy fats, fiber, vitamins K, E, & C, potassium, and antioxidants! They can support brain function, heart health, eye health, gut health, and digestion while aiding nutrient absorption. Isn't nature the best?
