40 amazing avocado recipes

Yes, we love avo but it deserves more of a starring role on your menu.
Burrito bowl

This burrito bowl is big on flavour and lower in carbs (recipe below).

It doesn’t seem like the world’s obsession with avocado is going anywhere fast.

And for good reason; rich, creamy and totally delicious, everyone’s favourite fruit is packed full of healthy fats, fibre, magnesium, protein and potassium, which gives us the perfect excuse to keep eating it.

But there’s a whole lot more you can do to up your avo intake without involving guac or smash on toast, foodies – it’s time to branch out.

Click through the gallery for some new ways to cook with avocado – but we’ve included guacamole and smash too (because some days you just can’t go past the classics).
