5 Amazing Uses for Avocados

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which make them a fantastic food to eat to keep you healthy. But avocados can be used in many ways to soothe and nourish your body. From facial masks to food substitutes and everything in between, find out the new ways you can use avocados to enhance your life.

Soothing Facial Mask

The oil in avocados has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and soothe your skin. Try mixing a mashed avocado with honey for a quick at-home facial mask. Apply it to your skin and rinse it off with warm water once the mask starts to harden.


Dairy-Free Dressing 

Swap out the anchovies and eggs for avocados to make a dairy-free, vegan-friendly Caesar salad dressing. The thick consistency of the avocados makes this dressing super creamy and delicious.

Substitute for Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is not only fattening but it’s made with processed ingredients that are not good for your body. Invest in your health and swap out mayo for avocado to give your body the nutrients it needs.

Hydrating Hair Mask

Nourish and hydrate your split ends with avocados. Simply mix together an egg yolk, olive oil and mashed avocado in a bowl. When showering, apply the mask to the ends of your wet hair and let it sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing.  Repeat once or twice a week for excellent results.

Make Healthy Brownie

This recipe won’t make you feel bad about indulging in a chocolate fudge brownie (or two!). Add the secret ingredient—an avocado—into the batter to create a healthy and delicious dessert that everyone is sure to love.
