15 Vegan Avocado Recipes that will Make You Say "Holy Guacamole!"

Avocados are a such wonderfully unique food. They’re a fruit, but they don’t taste like fruit; they’re full of fat, but it’s fat that’s good for you; and they can go with virtually any dish, whether it’s sweet or savory. Did I mention they’re one of the most delicious foods mother nature has every produced? Yeah, that too. In fact, the more I think about it, there’s not a single bad thing that can be said about them. Avocados are basically perfect.

Now, I should stress that there is a big difference between varieties, mainly Hass and Florida. If you’re looking for avocado perfection, it’s the Hass avocado. Florida avocados just don’t taste nearly as good. Why? I have no idea, but it’s just a cruel fact of life. You could also speculate that the preference for hass is universally objective due to the fact that Hass avocados are always more expensive than Florida avocados, even though they’re less than half the size.

I’m pretty sure all of these vegan avocado recipes call for avocados of the Hass variety. Regardless, I would urge you to use Hass for any of these recipes. Again, it’s just a much more flavorful, better tasting avocado. Hass avocados also tend to have a creamy texture, which makes them perfect for mashing, beating, whipping, blending, etc…
