Tasty Eats | Go Avo + Easy Recipe




How do you feel about condiments, yes I asked about condiments? Maybe it’s a weird question to ask, but I am obsessed with them…ketchup, spicy mayo, honey mustard and now GoAvo! I am always seeking an alternative for mayonnaise because I love chicken, egg and tuna salad- I think we can all agree that if we don’t have to use it, we probably shouldn’t!! Well when it comes to being good for you – GoAvo is the way to go! It’s soy free, non-GMO, no artificial ingredients & all around better when compared to mayo! 


Each bottle contains 90% avocado – so you know that toast you’re eating in the morning with avocado and a few red pepper flakes – you could totally use GoAvo as well! 


GoAvo was founded by Aaron and Kaitlyn who took a break from their professional careers in finance and fashion to pursue their passion…Healthy food that is actually delicious! How cool is that?! Right nowGoAvois being sold in 5 states – and if you happen to live in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York or Vermont – check out what stores are currently carrying them! Onto the “recipe” – 


When Gary was in college he loved making tuna sandwiches, but used English muffins so that he could easily eat them on his way to class- so studious! I decided to take his old favorite and make it healthier by usingGoAvo.


//mix the tuna with choice of spread – I used Chipotle & Basil


//Layer on top of the English muffin with tomato & choice of cheese on top – I used American 


//Pop in the toaster oven until cheese has melted 


//ENJOY! I served ours with a side of sweet potato fries & carrots. 


But what about the taste?! It’s not overpowering or potent in smell – it’s the perfect amount of flavor & to be quite honest I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by using this in place of mayo. I’ve already added it to my breakfast burrito & added the spread to an otherwise bland sandwich! There are9 recipesto try on their website and I’ve got my eyes set on chicken salad next – I usually use plain greek yogurt in place of mayo – so I’m excited for a different flavor! 




I realize that this product is not sold everywhere, yet, but I’m really interested in knowing what you use in place of mayo – if you’re making a recipe that calls for it.










Thank you to GoAvo for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own.

    This sounds delicious! It needs to come to the Midwest! I have to admit, I am a mayo fan, although I do like the "healthier" version that had olive oil.

    Sounds tasty to me!! I always use light mayo and just a smidge. In fact we has tuna salad the other night and all it took was a tablespoon. We just have gotten used to less but I really like the flavor options and enhancement with this!! Yum!

    I need to see if I can find this in Virginia! I have, probably what most consider, an unhealthy obsession with avocados haha If I'm making a sandwich to eat at home, I sometimes mix an avocado with Greek yogurt. Sounds like it is super similar to this! And what a great replacement for mayo!

    YUM, I just tried an avocado for the first time a few months ago (I used to be a very picky eater and it takes me time to work up the courage to try things sometimes) and really loved it, but I haven't used it in anything yet. I've just eaten them on their own with a little salt and pepper. I can imagine this would be delicious on a sandwich, yum!

    OH my goodness, I hope the GoAvo people are reading this and can start distributing in Washington! This sounds like my perfect condiment!! I eat avocados seriously everyday. I also will not be afraid to admit I LOVE mayo, much to the disgust of many others, however, agree that it's so unhealthy!!! I bet the chipotle one would be so good on a breakfast sandwich … mmm. And the packaging is cute 🙂

    When you asked if we love condiments I literally laughed out loud because I always tell people I'm a condiment lover and everyone always laughs at me! This product looks great! I love that it's non-GMO and vegan. Im bummed it's not in Ca but hopefully they'll grow and come out west!

    I'm with you on loving condiments. Give me all the sauces! (When I go for sushi I ask for spicy mayo, eel sauce, and Sriracha! They must love me for the extra work. haha) Anyways I'm definitely going to try this because I love avocados and it sounds like a delicious replacement for mayo.

    this is brilliant! i love avo, but not gonna lie, i am super lazy and i hate buying fresh produce because we never use it all! so i like the idea of having something i could keep in the fridge and use bit by bit, if that makes sense. hope they start selling it here soon! KC hates mayo so we use avo for a lot of things (when we actually use it) like i shred chicken, mash some chickpeas and then throw in an avo, and you've basically got chicken salad or whatever. delicious!
