30 Delicious and Easy Avocado Recipes

Don’t let their tough skins and neon flesh intimidate you: Avocados are one of the most powerful fruits you can eat, and Americans can’t get enough of them. From toast to smoothies, you can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing a few carefully crafted avocado recipes.

Avocados are more than a food trend, though: These creamy, high-fat fruits are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, potassium, magnesium and other important nutrients. And with few net carbs and plenty of quality fats, the right avocado recipes can also fit into a keto, paleo, or Whole30 eating plan.

Enjoy this nourishing fruit for every meal (including dessert!) with these avocado recipes.
