This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
My kids love avocado, partly because I love it and they’ve always had it. There are so many great things about avocados including important vitamins that growing bodies need. I have quite a few snack recipes that are not only easy for kids to make but also a favorite around our house.
Green eggs and ham.
Ingredients:
- 1 Avocado
- 2 Hard boiled Eggs
- 1/4 cup mayo
- salt and pepper to taste
- toast
- ham
How to:
It’s so simple to create a fun dish. I call this green eggs and ham. Simply boil eggs and mash the avocado and eggs and add mayo. I add mayo so 1/4 cup is an estimate. I also use whatever bread I have laying around. It’s great on a hearty multi grain bread for kids. Add ham, lunch meat will do but I like chopping up little bits of ham and adding it in. Kids love this snack and the name is so fun!

What recipes can you and your kids create with avocados?
what a fun recipe! we are going to try it!
i think this is a great way to get kids to eat healthy. I love avocados
Who would’ve thought that my son would actually like avocados. I guess our love for Chipotle and all it’s guacamole glory has helped a lot.
We are eager to find and try new recipes that incorporate avocados. They are yummy.
I love avocados – but I can’t get my sons to try them yet. They are so damn picky! Not all green things taste blah, lol
