And yes, a simple addition to your morning toast is the best way to start enjoying the goodness of this lovely fruit.
But when you want to level up your avocado game, it’s time to try this avocado hollandaise recipe. A simple combination of avocados, lemon juice and olive oil. No butter, no eggs - it’s super simple. To make the best healthy hollandaise, make sure all your ingredients are fresh.
First, peel, destone and chop the avocados. Not sure how to do this? Don’t forget to check out the comprehensive guide to preparing avocados for salsas, dips and salads. Place the avocado in a blender alongside fresh lemon juice. Again, ‘fresh’ is the keyword here. Do not use pre-packed lemon juice in this avocado hollandaise recipe.
Next up, give it a quick whizz to make a smooth purée. At this stage, pour in some hot water to emulsify the sauce. Now, drizzle olive oil through the opening on the blender lid. Continue the pureeing process until you get a silky smooth sauce that you can drizzle just like your regular hollandaise sauce.
