Instructions

Begin by selecting perfectly ripe avocados. Fresh avocados are ripe when they yield slightly by gently squeezing them. Peel the avocados and cut them in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the creamy flesh.
Start by removing the pit and scooping out the avocado flesh. Dice it into chunks or mash it if you prefer.
Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice or any citrus juice before freezing to prevent it from turning brown.
Place the prepared avocado in an airtight container or a plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. You can also wrap them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals to form.

Notes

When using frozen avocado, add it directly to smoothies without thawing. It saves time and helps chill your smoothie without needing ice cubes.
To preserve the guacamole's creamy texture, Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole before sealing it in an airtight container. This barrier prevents air from reaching the guacamole, helping it maintain its creamy consistency.
Freezing diced avocado on a baking sheet: Before transferring it to a container, I recommend freezing with this extra step. It prevents the avocado pieces from clumping together in the freezer. Spread the diced avocados on a baking sheet and freeze them until they are solid. Then, transfer the frozen pieces to a container or resealable plastic bag for easy portioning and use.
