20 Unconventional Avocado Recipes

It's practically common knowledge that avocados are nutritional powerhouses.

An avocado contains 33% of your daily recommended Vitamin C, 40% of your daily recommended folate, 25% of your daily recommended Vitamin B-6, 52% of your daily recommended Vitamin K, and 27% DV potassium—twice that of a banana. They are high in fat, but it's a healthy fat.

Frankly, there are so many great things about avocados that I could write a separate post entirely about their health benefits.

However, this post is not about the health benefits of avocados.

Instead, this post is brimming with all sorts of unconventional ways to use avocados in your cooking—from ice cream to brownies to pizza.

There’s bound to be an avocado recipe in this roundup for you!
