This recipe is the only deviled eggs recipe you’ll need in your recipe box. Why? Because it transforms a southern staple into a healthier version without compromising on the qualities that we all know and love.
I’ve never been one to reach for the deviled eggs plate. Traditionally full of mayonnaise, they’ve never really been my thing.
But after embracing all things southern on a recent bachelorette trip in South Carolina, I couldn’t get enough of them and was determined to find a healthier, but equally as delicious way to make them at home.

What’s the one ingredient that I’m always encouraging clients to swap mayo with? Avocado. Just as creamy, mild in flavor, and full of nutrients.

For this recipe, you’ll need:
- Boiled eggs
- Avocado
- Lemon
- Chives
- Cilantro
- Salt
- Smoked paprika (for garnish and a little smoky flavor)
Healthy fats are a fantastic way to keep your body fueled, full and satisfied. In this recipe, we’re sourcing the fat from both the avocado and egg yolks, as well as protein from the egg whites making these avocado deviled eggs an ideal snack or appetizer.
These avocado deviled eggs can be made ahead of time, however, I suggest consuming them the day of to ensure optimal freshness of the avocado.
To make the prep work a little easier, boil the eggs ahead of time, peel, cut in half and separate the whites from the yolk to whip up the avocado filling before serving.
You can always squeeze extra lemon juice on top and cover securely with plastic wrap if needing to store in the refrigerator for longer periods of time. I promise, these avocado deviled eggs won’t last long!
