5 Fresh Recipes to Celebrate National Avocado Day

Happy National Avocado Day! While we always appreciate chowing down on guacamole or avocado toast, did you know there are hundreds of other ways to incorporate the fruit into your diet?

Below, discover five creative avocado-themed recipes you can enjoy on July 31 and beyond.

Air Fryer Everything Bagel Avocado Fries by Delish

We often use avocados as a healthy alternative to our favorite greasy dishes. Take this recipe from Delish, for example. Rather than eating a plate of deep-fried potatoes, you can enjoy the same delicious crunch with air-fried avocados. It also adds everything bagel seasoning to offer an equal amount of flavor.

Avocado Smoothie by Love & Lemons

Here's a green smoothie you'll want to drink. This recipe from Love & Lemons results in a creamy and refreshing morning drink. It combines avocado (of course) with frozen pineapple, lime juice, coconut milk and more. It's an approachable recipe and flavor for anyone coming off sugary drinks.

Avocado Zucchini Carbonara Pasta by Half-Baked Harvest

You're telling us we can incorporate avocados into our pasta? This recipe by Half-Baked Harvest is savory, salty and delicious, thanks to its use of bacon and cheese. But because it also uses zucchini and avocado, it's much better for you than your traditional carbonara.

Baked Avocados by Dizzy, Busy & Hungry

Remember the avocado fries recipe? If you've always been more into baked potatoes than fries, this dish is for you. Dizzy, Busy & Hungry scoops the meat out of the avocado and fills it with cherry tomatoes, basil and cheese to give you a lightweight treat.

Healthy Avocado Lime Cheesecake by Yummy Addiction

We're having Avocado Lime Cheesecake for dessert, courtesy of Yummy Addiction. Instead of a chocolate pie crust, it uses dates to give you a nutty, sweet base. And like the filling of a standard cheesecake, the avocado and lime still provide a punch that is tart and oh-so-satisfying.
