This gelato is a great way to use up ripe avocados. I always have a few avocados on hand and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I love that this recipe uses honey instead of sugar. It gives the gelato a more natural sweetness and it's also a healthier option.

This gelato is a great way to sneak some healthy fats into your diet. Avocados are a good source of monounsaturated fats, which can help to lower cholesterol and improve heart health.

This gelato is a great way to use up ripe avocados. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional gelato, since it's made with avocado instead of cream.
