2 tablespoon (medium) of Avocado Mash (30 g) has 48 calories. That works out to 160 calories per 100 g. It contains 2.6 g of carbs, 0.6 g of protein, 4.4 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of B5 covers 8% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Avocado Mash is made by mashing ripe avocado, with the texture left smooth or slightly chunky. Avocados originated in the Americas, and the mash is now a familiar spread in many kitchens. A little lemon or lime, salt and pepper can keep it simple; garlic and fresh herbs are common additions too.
Its mild, buttery flavour and creamy texture work well on toast, in sandwiches, or alongside eggs. It is also served as a dip or spooned into salads and grain bowls. Avocado Mash provides fibre and mostly unsaturated fat; 100 g contains 6.7 g of fibre. For a lighter version, brighten it with citrus and herbs rather than adding extra oil.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make avocado mash, scoop a ripe avocado into a bowl and crush it with a fork. Stir in lemon or lime juice and salt; leave it chunky or keep mashing until it reaches the texture you prefer.
Add lemon or lime juice and limit the avocado mash’s contact with air. Press cling film directly onto its surface or seal it in an airtight container, then refrigerate it promptly.
No. Avocado mash can be simply mashed avocado, while guacamole usually includes seasonings and additions such as lime, onion, tomato, chilli or cilantro. The names are sometimes used interchangeably, but guacamole is typically the more seasoned preparation.
Avocado mash is best eaten soon after preparation, but it generally keeps for about one to two days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Discard it if you notice mould, an off smell or an unusual change in texture.
Yes, avocado mash can be frozen, though thawing may make it softer or watery. Mix in lemon or lime juice, seal it in a freezer-safe airtight container, and stir it well after thawing before using it in a dip or sandwich.
Yes, avocado mash can replace butter as a spread on toast. It gives toast a creamy texture and pairs well with toppings such as eggs, tomatoes or chilli flakes; add it just before eating to limit browning.
Avocado mash also works in wraps, tacos and grain bowls, or as a dip for sliced vegetables. Its creamy texture pairs especially well with eggs, beans, grilled fish and chicken.
Yes, babies who are ready for solid foods can generally try soft, unsalted avocado mash from around six months. Adjust the texture to your baby’s stage and avoid firm chunks that could pose a choking risk.
Avocado mash can fit into a weight-loss eating plan: its fibre and fat may help make a meal satisfying. It is also energy-dense, so use a sensible spread or topping portion rather than treating it as a free addition.
Yes, avocado mash can be made without lemon juice; mash the avocado with a little salt or another seasoning you enjoy. Lemon mainly adds brightness and slows browning, so prepare the mash close to serving time if you leave it out.
