Avocados are, like, so hot right now. They’ve been sweeping breakfasts across the country with avocado toast while holding up its reputation as the crowd-pleasing guac. But it’s time to really put this bad boy to work. Check out these different ways to eat the most-instagrammed food of our time.

You’ll never believe that this little piece of dark chocolate heaven is actually healthy for you. Never go back to adding all that fatty heavy cream ever again and swap it out for some ‘cado. Trust us, it totally works.

Sometimes alfredo sauce can be too thick to handle—but we do crave dat creaminess. Match the rich texture of alfredo while curbing those cals with this avocado pesto sauce.

Okay, yeah, the mason jar trend is so hipster—but these jars pack a whole bunch of food and look hella trendy while doing it. Have your lunch in style with the southwestern salad or chicken, avocado, and tomato salad.

With all of the upcoming food trends, we’re well aware that savory ice cream is on fleek these days. Shake up that old vanilla ice cream with some avo flavor. Recipe here.

Forget the avocado toast for a sec and try this nutrient-packed breakfast newbie. Take out the seed, put in the egg, and cook.

Bacon, egg and tomato is so 2014. Switch it up with this game-changer that balances sriracha-mayo hot sauce with refreshing ‘cado. This is not your usual sammy.
