Your Ultimate Guide to the Most Addictive Snack Combo Ever 🥑 + 🧂
Some things just belong together: summer and sunshine, coffee and mornings… and of course, chips and avocado. Whether you’re dipping, scooping, or stacking, this combo is the holy grail of flavor, texture, and crave-worthy simplicity.
In this post, we’ll show you how to enjoy chips with avocado like a pro, with creative pairings, must-try variations, and even tips to level up your guac game.
🥑 1. Start with the Right Avocados
To enjoy avocado with chips, you need the perfectly ripe fruit — soft, creamy, and packed with flavor.
How to tell:
- Slight give when gently pressed near the top
- Stem pops off easily to reveal green underneath
- Dark green (not black) skin for Hass avocados
🧂 2. Don’t Sleep on the Chips
Not all chips are created equal. Depending on your mood, meal, or dietary preference, try:
Classic Pairings:
- Tortilla chips (thick cut = better scooping)
- Blue corn chips for color + crunch
- Plantain chips for sweet-savory contrast
- Pita chips for a Mediterranean twist
Healthier Options:
- Sweet potato chips
- Baked veggie chips
- Cucumber or jicama rounds (for a low-carb dipper!)
