As Fries

You can craft your very own fries using fresh avocados by coating them in crispy bread crumbs and baking them for a bit. From there, pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or even the spicy aioli that goes along with our easy recipe for Gluten-Free Baked Avocado Fries!

On Toast

We all know and love avocado toast. It's the perfect fare for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that packs a nutritious punch! The most basic way to eat avocado on toast is mashing it with some salt and pepper, but we like to get fancy with it and add veggies, cheese, and homemade dressings like the balsamic-based one included in our Avocado Toast with Balsamic Dressing recipe. You can use any type of bread for this, but toasted sourdough is simply *chef's kiss*.

In Desserts

Avocado desserts are so underrated. You can find recipes for avocado browniesand even healthy ice creams! Our go-to is this Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream served in an adorable avo-shaped chocolate bowl. With sweets like these, you'd never even guess there was avocado included.

In Smoothies

Like frozen bananas add creaminess to any smoothie, avocados can, too! Freezing some slices before blending them creates such a satisfying texture. Try it out using our recipe for Cosmic Brownie Protein Smoothies! These protein-rich drinks deliver a dose of nostalgia in the tastiest way ever.

Stuffed

Eating avocado by itself doesn't always spark joy, which is why it's a good idea to bulk 'em up with fillings! Stuffed avocados are a great way to go for an easy lunch or dinner. Just take our Vegan Stuffed Avocados or Shrimp Stuffed Avocados for a spin to see what the hype is all about.

As Pasta Sauce

Pack your next pasta recipe full of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, and more using some avocados for the sauce! This Creamy Avocado Pasta makes the whole shebang super easy, since all of the sauce ingredients only need a quick blend in a food processor. It's oh-so creamy, plus the sauce can be used for any kind of pasta combo you'd like.

Djerf Avenue Summer Field Top

How could we talk about Scandi summer style and not mention the Scandinavian style icon herself, Matilda Djerf? She's the queen of the effortlessly cool style that we're talking about. This top is one of their new pieces, and it's just perfect to throw on with a pair of shorts and ballet flats for the summer. I've purchased so many items from this brand, and every single piece is so high quality! It'll definitely make you feel like a Scandi cool girl in no time. 100/10 for me!

Djerf Avenue Airy Midi Dress

Another amazing Djerf Avenue find! It's currently number 1 on my wishlist for Scandinavian girl summer given how versatile it is! I love the flowy, effortlessness of the dress, especially styled with dainty flats like above! This will make for the easiest outfit combo to throw on when you're in a hurry, but still want to look chic.

Pink Stripe Linen Shorts

Striped linen shorts are the #1 essential of mastering Scandinavian style! They're in practically every Scandinavian cool-girl's closet, and can be worn in a multitude of ways. With flats and a sweater, a matching set with Birkenstocks, the list goes on and on. A versatile essential for the summertime!

Havaiana Flip Flops

These flip flops are not only one of the most popular Scandi-girl shoes, but they're also insanely affordable! You may think, "But these are just basic flip flops?" And while yes that is true, they're also just the perfect casual statement to add to a fancier look. Scandi girl aesthetic is all about comfort and looking effortlessly cool, so if you're wearing something traditionally more fancy like a maxi dress, then throw these on to add the signature Scandinavian style to it!

Topshop Linen Button Down

Another incredibly versatile piece is a linen button down. You can throw it over so many outfit options like a dress or linen pants or even as a cover-up like above! This is a staple to take an outfit to the next level, adding an additional layer or dimension to an otherwise simple look.

Birkenstock Boston Clogs

You may think that these are more of a fall and winter shoe, but scandi girls love these for the summer! I have to say that I agree as well. I wear these everywhere in the summer. I wear them with matching shorts and button down sets, or to the beach, or even sometimes with denim skirts! They're also insanely comfortable so definitely add this to your "minimalist wishlist."

Abercrombie Linen Pant

Pajama style is seriously taking off right alongside the rise of Scandi style — and that's because they were the ones to revolutionize it! Really though, pajama sets in public are so in, and I'm here for it! I love these exactly styled how they are above with a white tank (another Scandi basic), flip flops, and a straw bag!

Canvas Tote Bag

Scandi girls are always on the go, so they're always carrying a classic, tote bag to carry everything they need! I love this stylish option from Amazon for under $20. You can use it as an everyday accessory, or as a beach bag, in typical Scandi fashion.

Oval Sunglasses

The perfect accessory to every Scandinavian outfit? You guessed it, oval sunglasses. These ones from Amazon are so affordable so you can get the Scandi girl look on a budget. They come in black and — my favorite — brown leopard!

Petal & Pup Linen Set

Scandi girl summer is all about linen. It's breezy, easy, and so comfortable. Bonus points if it comes in a matching set like this one does! You can pair this cute set with your oval sunglasses, tote, and Birkenstock clogs!
