Chocolate cake

Who said cake can’t be healthy? A very naughty but delicious treat is avocado cake, made easily thanks to the fruit’s creamy texture making the flesh easily worked into cake ingredients. The result is lovely and moist – no one would ever guess it’s healthy.

Sushi

If you’re creating a quick and easy spread or simply want something easy to pop in your lunch box, then roll your avocado into sushi – it makes a brilliant partnership with smoked salmon.

Pasta sauce

If you want to incorporate avocado into your pasta meal but are not sure how, then what about pulping the avocado flesh into a pasta sauce? The flavour isn’t overpowering, so it will allow the rest of your ingredients to come into their own.
