Serve some fried as a side dish with breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as an appetizer for a special event, or as a weekend game-day snack. They can either be fried in deep oil or, for a healthy alternative, baked.

When baking, avocado can be used as a vegan alternative to shortening, butter, eggs, and oils. This replacement may reduce calories in the food. For instance, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of avocado have just 48 calories but the same amount of butter has 200 calories. Avocado is frequently used to make chocolate cakes, brownies, mousse, and pudding because the rich chocolate color will conceal the avocado's green color.
Ingredient: AvocadoInstruction:
- When swapping out butter for avocados, a 1:1 ratio will work perfectly. 1 cup (230 grams) of oil or butter equals 1 cup (230 grams) of mashed avocado.
- 2-4 tablespoons (30–60 grams) of mashed avocado are equivalent to 1 egg.

- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup (240 ml) of milk
- 1/2 cup (125 grams) of vanilla
- Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (15 grams) of spinach
- Ice to taste.
Instruction:
- Peel the avocados first.
- Place milk, avocado, yogurt, and honey into a blender; add ice cubes and blend until smooth.
- If you have a high-speed blender, try freezing your milk of choice in an ice cube tray and using that for the avocado drink instead of refrigerated milk. This tastes like an avocado milkshake and is especially tasty when made with canned coconut milk.
