Easy Avocado Spread
Description
Easy Avocado Spread combines ripe avocados with a small amount of miso paste, garlic powder, agave or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, blended together with unsweetened plant-based milk until smooth. The miso paste contributes a subtle savory depth and saltiness, while the agave adds a hint of natural sweetness. Garlic powder provides mild pungency without overpowering the avocado's creamy qualities.
The resulting spread has a smooth, creamy texture, ideal for spreading on bread or crackers. The flavor profile balances fresh avocado richness with subtle umami and sweetness from the added ingredients. This preparation requires only blending the ingredients and can be customized by adjusting salt or sweetness levels to preference.
Since miso contains salt, it’s recommended to taste before adding additional salt to avoid oversalting. Storing the spread in an airtight container and employing methods to limit browning can help maintain its fresh green color and flavor for longer.

- 3 avocado
- 2 teaspoons miso paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk
Instructions

Notes
