Easy peasy Avocado Egg Salad! If you are looking for new, quick, healthy breakfast options you have to add this one to your rotation! Avocado egg salad is a nutritious and easy-to-make meal that is ideal for babies, toddlers, and kids. This creamy, mild dish combines the health benefits of eggs and avocado, making it a powerhouse of essential nutrients for growing children. With just a few ingredients, it’s easy to prepare, flavorful, and versatile enough to serve in a variety of ways—on toast, as a dip, or even as a finger food for baby-led weaning (BLW). The creamy texture makes it easy for little ones to eat, and the nutrient-packed ingredients provide a healthy dose of vitamins, protein, and healthy fats.

TIP:
Make sure to add a little lemon if storing in refrigerator, in an airtight container, since avocados can brown easily. Can store for no more than 2 days.
Nutritional Benefits of Avocado Egg Salad:
Avocados are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which support brain development and provide long-lasting energy for active kids. They also contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including potassium, folate, and vitamins C, E, and K, making avocados a nutrient-dense food that supports immune health, skin health, and heart health. Avocados also contain fiber, which promotes healthy digestion—a key benefit for young children as they adapt to a more varied diet.
Eggs are another nutritional highlight of this dish, providing high-quality protein and essential amino acids. Eggs are rich in choline, a nutrient crucial for brain development and cognitive function in young children. They’re also a good source of vitamins D, B12, and riboflavin, as well as minerals like iron and selenium, which support immune health and cellular development. For babies who are starting solids or older children who need protein-dense snacks, eggs are a perfect choice.
How to serve:
Avocado egg salad is also very adaptable for different ages and preferences. For babies, keep the consistency soft by mashing the ingredients into a smooth texture. You can spoon-feed it or serve it on soft pieces of bread for baby-led weaning. For toddlers, the salad can be chunkier, allowing them to practice picking up pieces and eating independently. Older kids may enjoy the salad served as a sandwich, wrap, or dip with fruit on the side.
