🥑 Frozen Avocado Scoops

The easiest way to preserve ripe avocados — no browning, no waste, just creamy green goodness on demand!

🛒 Ingredients

• Ripe avocados (use as many as you like)

Tip: Choose soft but still vibrant avocados — no brown spots or overripe mush.

🧰 Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl

• Fork or potato masher

• Small cookie scoop or tablespoon

• Baking sheet

• Foil or parchment paper

• Gallon-size Ziploc bag or airtight container

👩‍🍳 Instructions

✅ Step 1: Prep the Avocados

• Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

• Mash with a fork or masher until smooth or slightly chunky — your choice.

🧂 No lemon, lime, salt, or seasonings needed — plain works best!

✅ Step 2: Portion into Scoops

• Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

• Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mashed avocado into evenly sized mounds.

• Leave space between each scoop so they don’t stick together.

✅ Step 3: Freeze

• Place the tray flat in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until the scoops are fully firm.

✅ Step 4: Store

• Once frozen, quickly transfer the scoops to a labeled freezer bag or container.

• Seal well and return to the freezer.

🧊 To Use

• Remove the number of scoops you need.

• Thaw at room temperature for 15–30 minutes, or microwave for 10–15 seconds.

🥣 Use in smoothies, on toast, in eggs, or mash into quick guacamole!

❓ FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Do I need to add lemon or lime juice?

A: No! The freezing process stops oxidation. Your scoops will stay bright green without any acid.

Q: Can I freeze whole or halved avocados instead?

A: You can, but mashing and scooping makes them easier to thaw and portion. No chopping needed.

Q: How long do frozen avocado scoops last?

A: They’re best within 3–4 months, but still usable up to 6 months if kept airtight.

Q: Do they taste the same after thawing?

A: Pretty close! The texture gets slightly creamier, making it perfect for spreads, sauces, and blending — not ideal for slicing.

Q: Can I season the avocado before freezing?

A: You can, but it’s better to season after thawing so you can adjust flavor based on how you plan to use it.

Q: How many scoops will I get from one avocado?

A: One medium avocado yields about 4–6 scoops, depending on size and how much you mash.
