5 avocado alternatives
1. Smashed banana
Thanks to its similar texture, banana is another toast-topper that also works in place of avocado in most recipes.
2. Almond, cashew or peanut butter
With high levels of healthy fats, nut butters can be used in lace of avocado for snacks and baking.
3. Edamame
For those who want to make guacamole but can’t stand the thought of avocado, why not try cooking then pureeing edamame? Just add Mexican spices and you’ve got yourself some avo-free guac.
4. Chia seeds
