Avocados are incredibly nutritious, versatile, and they taste kind of like butter. What’s not to love? Well, their shelf life is pretty undesirable. What’s more, these little fruits are pricey. Having to waste a ripe—or even overripe—avocado is the worst. So we’re here to answer the question all avocado lovers want to know: Can you freeze avocados? Yes, if you do so correctly.
How to Freeze Avocados
Follow the simple steps below to properly freeze your extra avocados, then put them to use in these delicious smoothie recipes. Avocados will keep in the freezer for up to four or five months.
Best Uses for Frozen Avocados
Don’t expect avocados to be ready to top avocado toast or a salad after being defrosted. Instead, frozen avocados work best in smoothies. Seriously, skeptics—if you know, you know. Avocados impart an incredibly creamy, silky consistency in smoothies; one that you probably thought you could only achieve with a $500 blender or visit to a smoothie shop. They’ll also give your breakfast an extra boost of healthy fats that’ll help stave you over until lunchtime.
