No, I don't think you're overly obsessed with avocado. Sure you can easily eat one avocado a day [1] by smearing it on every meal [2], pairing it with every snack [3], and only choosing food at a restaurant if it comes with avocado. No, you're not obsessed. You're passionate, which is why it pains you to see a perfect, gorgeously ripe avocado [4] turn brown and get thrown away. If one of your favourite ways to enjoy avocado is with avocado toast [5], you need to know this simple, easy, and inexpensive hack.
Store Leftover Avocado in a Reusable Pouch
While you can save half an avocado in the peel by spreading a little oil on the green flesh, what about leftover mashed avocado? This genius hack from nomnomkids [7] isn't just for kids. Take a reusable food pouch, fill it with mashed avocado, squeeze out all the air, and store it in the fridge.
You can buy the Nom-Nom Kids pouches if you live in the UK [8], or order these WeeSprout Pouches from Amazon [9] (six for $17). They're washable and easy to pack in lunch boxes — way more convenient than bringing a whole avocado that'll end up getting knocked around and bruised.
Save Avocado Without It Browning!
As you can see, it's not only easy to squeeze out onto toast, sandwiches, salads, or crackers, but it stays the same gorgeous green colour when you use it the following day. No more wasted avocado, which saves money and tears!
