You probably call it an avocado, but did you know they’re also called butter fruit? Yes! Avocado and butter fruit are the same thing.

If you’re familiar with avocados it’s probably no surprise why they’re called a butter fruit. That smooth, and creamy texture of the inner fruit really is like a butter consistency! And, it’s packed with the healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.

With all the health benefits the butter fruit avocado provides, you may be wanting to find some new and inspired recipes to incorporate them more in your diet!

Here I have for you a collection of over 30 avocado recipes from dinner ideas, to dips, to snacks and desserts!

Which will you make first?
