25 Mouth-Watering Ways to Eat Avocado

Yes, the world is abuzz with the talk of the health benefits of avocado.

At first, avocados really seemed like something that was just an occasional treat. And you might be one of those people who thought it only came in one form: guacamole. Don’t feel bad – I was in that same camp too for quite some time.

But now that the world has caught on to the incredible versatility of the peculiar fruit that is the avocado, there is seemingly no end to the new and delectable ways to try it.

So, get your bookmark button ready because here are 25 mouthwatering ways to eat avocado that you’ll want to try.

1. Avocado Fries

bread crumbs

That’s right, you can make fries out of avocado slices. Right from the beginning, I’m blowing your mind.

There are a lot of different foods you can make into fries, but rarely do they come from the fruit family. And these are extremely simple to make.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe (but not overripe) avocados
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on the sheet. Set aside.
  2. Slice avocados lengthwise – for three avocados, you’ll get 20-22 fries.
  3. Set up three bowls in an “assembly line”. In the first bowl, place the ½ cup of flour and add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  4. Crack the eggs into the middle bowl and beat lightly.
  5. In the last bowl, combine the panko and melted butter and mix with your fingers to coat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
  6. Dredge each avocado slice through the flour, and then the beaten egg. Coat thoroughly with the panko and place on the wire rack. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until panko is lightly browned. Cool for about ten minutes and serve with dipping sauce of choice.

2. Rice, Fried Egg, and Avocado

Rice, Fried Egg, and Avocado

This could conceivably be a meal for all occasions, if you ask me. It’s quick and easy, with the most time consuming aspect of the preparation being cooking the rice.

Ingredients

  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt and pepper and cook until whites are set around the edges, about 1 minute.
  4. Flip eggs and cook to desired doneness, about 30 seconds for a runny yolk.
  5. Divide rice among bowls; top with eggs, avocado, and hot sauce.

3. Avocado Tacos

Ingredients

4. Crab and Avocado

avocado crab salad

This is the first seafood item on the list, but it’s definitely not the last.

Avocado and crab go together shockingly well.

Ingredients

For the crab salad:

  • 1 pound of cooked crab meat
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
  • ½ green bell pepper, finely diced
  • ½ cucumber, finely diced
  • 4 radishes, finely diced
  • Juice of 2 limes

To garnish:

  • Lettuce or salad greens, cilantro leaves, chopped green onions or chives, radishes

Directions                       

To prepare the crab salad:

  1. Mix the cooked crab meat with diced onions, diced bell peppers, diced cucumbers, diced radish, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and salt/pepper. The salad can be prepared in advance and kept refrigerated until just ready to assemble the avocados.

To prepare the crab stuffed avocados:

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds and peel the avocados. Sprinkle each avocado half with a little lime (or lemon) juice to prevent the avocados from browning too quickly.
  2. Fill the center of the avocados halves with the crab salad. Serve the crab stuffed avocados over lettuce leaves and garnished with chopped chives (or green onions) and radishes.

5. Tuna, Avocado, and Brown Rice

Tuna, Avocado, and Brown Rice

Tuna is one of the more solid seafood choices for bodybuilders and athletes looking for a nutritious lunch. Of course it’s not just great for athletes, it’s equally great for everyone else too.

And because of the great fiber and nutrients found in the brown rice and the avocado, this delicious trio of ingredients will fill you up and get you moving in no time.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp sesame oil
  • small tin of tuna in brine
  • ½ tsp fumi furikake
  • A good shake of white pepper
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 avocado

Directions

  1. Wash the rice and strain it into a cold saucepan. Add 500ml cold water, the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  2. Turn the heat up to maximum and bring the pot up to the boil. Once it is boiling, pop the lid on and turn the heat down as low as you can. Leave to simmer with the lid on for 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, drain the tuna and flake it.
  4. When the 25 minutes is up, drain off any remaining liquid from the rice saucepan and tip the rice back into the saucepan off the heat. Stir through the rice vinegar, flaked tuna, fumi furikake and white pepper then pop the lid back on and let it sit in the pot for 10 minutes to absorb all of the flavors.
  5. While you’re waiting, peel and chop the avocado into small chunks and fry the eggs sunny side up.
  6. To serve, scoop the rice into bowls and top with cubed avocado and the eggs.

6. Cucumber, Avocado, and Feta Salad

Cucumber, Avocado, and Feta Salad

This salad is one of the simplest I’ve ever seen. The only real work involved is in chopping up the cucumber and avocado – but if you’ve been following any of these recipes, at this point you’re surely an old pro.

  • juice of 1 lemon

7. Grilled Avocado

Avocado and Grilled Cheese

When people talk about how American something is, they usually relate it to apple pie. My go-to is always grilled cheese. But, who would have thought to add an avocado to the classic kid favorite?

Ingredients

10. In Place of Mayo

Instead of topping your run-of-the-mill sandwich with mayo, try this instead.

15. Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Shrimp and Avocado Salad

I know, I know, I’m always talking about the health benefits of seafood. You should hear me in real life, talking about how much I love shrimp. So, let it be known: this is one of my new favorite salads ever.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ pound raw shrimp, tails removed
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1½ cups sliced avocados (2 small)
  • 1 cucumber
  • 4 cups chopped spinach or baby kale
  • fresh chopped cilantro for topping
  • peanuts for topping

Directions

  1. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and shrimp; sprinkle with the chili powder and cayenne directly in the pan. Sauté for a few minutes on each side until the shrimp are no longer clear and have a nice golden color on the outside.
  2. Cut the avocados in half; cut lines through the avocado vertically and horizontally and scoop the flesh out with a spoon (like this). Peel and dice the cucumber. Chop the spinach or baby kale into small bite sized pieces. Arrange in a bowl with the shrimp.
  3. Puree all the dressing ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Taste and adjust to your preferences. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately (or store the individual parts separately in the refrigerator until ready to serve). Top with fresh cilantro and peanuts for crunch.

16. Stuffed Avocado Burger

Stuffed Avocado Burger

There’s no denying that the finished product here looks a little…weird. But rest assured, it tastes a little…amazing.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef
  • 2 avocados, ripe
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped NO OIL
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-medium high heat.
  2. Put your ground beef in a large mixing bowl and add black pepper, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and the zest of one lemon.
  3. Mix well and then using your hands form into thin patties all the same size (you need them thin because you will be using two of them to make one patty).
  4. In another mixing bowl combine avocados, sun dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and the remaining teaspoon of sea salt.
  5. Mash the avocado and mix ingredients well to get as smooth as you like.
  6. Place your avocado mixture on top of the bottom of half of the burgers, ensuring you leave room to seal the burgers without it leaking out.
  7. Put your other patty over the top of your mixture and pinch the edges of your burgers together to seal all the way around.
  8. Now go out and grill to your liking. I normally do about 6-8 minutes per side on my grill but yours may be different. Ensure you cook evenly on both sides of the burger or you will end up with an under cooked and an overcooked side.
  9. While grilling, I drizzle my burgers with bacon grease and it adds an amazing flavor.
  10. When done grilling, allow your burgers to rest for 10 minutes and then serve.

21. Guacamole (duh!)

Guacamole

I had to include at least one guacamole recipe on this list, right? This one’s labeled as “Perfect Guacamole”.

When you’re making this, keep in mind that the avocado has to be at that perfect stage of ripeness to deliver it’s full promise of flavor in guacamole form.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Tbsp of fresh lime juice or lemon juice
  • Tbsp to 1/4 cup of minced red onion or thinly sliced green onion
  • 1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
  • tablespoons cilantro (leaves and tender stems), finely chopped
  • A dash of freshly grated black pepper
  • 1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped

Directions

  1. Cut the avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avocado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl. (I find it easiest to score the inside of the avocado with a blunt knife and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.)
  2. Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado. (Don’t overdo it! The guacamole should be a little chunky.) Sprinkle with salt and lime (or lemon) juice. The acid in the lime juice will help delay the avocados from turning brown. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, black pepper, and chiles.
  3. Place plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole cover it and to prevent air reaching it. (The oxygen in the air causes oxidation which will turn the guacamole brown.) Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. Season with more salt and serve.

Okay, so we do dig on profits, but we also go in for happy customers, and free shipping works like gangbusters. So, if you live in the UK or Canada, your order ships free when it’s over $99.

Why the restriction on international orders? Unfortunately, shipping abroad is very expensive, and if we didn’t require a minimum order size, we’d lose a lot of money. But! We're also hustling to improve our international logistics and will be passing our savings along to our international customers.

Also, if you don’t absolutely love our stuff for whatever reason, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon.

We just . . . wait for it . . . give you your money back. No returns. No forms. No nonsense. Holy moo cows.

That means you can say “yes” now and decide later. You really have nothing to lose.

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Natural Ingredients

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Made in USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.

That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Science-Backed Ingredients

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits. That’s why we only use choice ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

No Chemical Junk

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Security Check

Please click the checkbox below. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
