As Fries
You can craft your very own fries using fresh avocados by coating them in crispy bread crumbs and baking them for a bit. From there, pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or even the spicy aioli that goes along with our easy recipe for Gluten-Free Baked Avocado Fries!

On Toast
We all know and love avocado toast. It's the perfect fare for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that packs a nutritious punch! The most basic way to eat avocado on toast is mashing it with some salt and pepper, but we like to get fancy with it and add veggies, cheese, and homemade dressings like the balsamic-based one included in our Avocado Toast with Balsamic Dressing recipe. You can use any type of bread for this, but toasted sourdough is simply *chef's kiss*.

In Desserts
Avocado desserts are so underrated. You can find recipes for avocado brownies and even healthy ice creams! Our go-to is this Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream served in an adorable avo-shaped chocolate bowl. With sweets like these, you'd never even guess there was avocado included.

In Smoothies
Like frozen bananas add creaminess to any smoothie, avocados can, too! Freezing some slices before blending them creates such a satisfying texture. Try it out using our recipe for Cosmic Brownie Protein Smoothies! These protein-rich drinks deliver a dose of nostalgia in the tastiest way ever.

Stuffed
Eating avocado by itself doesn't always spark joy, which is why it's a good idea to bulk 'em up with fillings! Stuffed avocados are a great way to go for an easy lunch or dinner. Just take our Vegan Stuffed Avocados or Shrimp Stuffed Avocados for a spin to see what the hype is all about.

It's oh-so creamy, plus the sauce can be used for any kind of pasta combo you'd like.
