Smashed avocado is a delicious and nutrient-packed dish made by mashing ripe avocados, often seasoned with salt, pepper, lime juice, and optional additions like olive oil, tomato, or chili flakes. Originating from Central and South American cuisine, where avocados are native, it has gained global popularity, particularly in modern health-conscious diets. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and essential vitamins like vitamin K, vitamin E, and potassium, smashed avocado supports healthy digestion, skin, and cardiovascular function. It provides energy while being free from cholesterol and low in natural sugars. However, its calorie density due to healthy fats means portion size is important, especially if combined with calorie-heavy toppings or bread. As a versatile dish, smashed avocado can be enjoyed on toast, as a dip, or alongside meals, offering a flavorful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
