When I started making egg and avocado wraps, I used 1/2 of the avocado to make 1 serving of guacamole and put the other half of avocado in the refrigerator. I had to use it the next day because it does not keep well.

How do I freeze avocados?
By Joanne A.
Avocadoes change consistency and can only be used for things like guacamole, dips, spreads, etc. after freezing. What I do is simply seed, peel and mash them one at a time, place in individual ziplock snack bags and then place all in a larger ziplock bag (double bagging helps to keep them from getting an 'off' taste).
I do them individually so I know exactly how much are in each baggie and can simply pull out one if that's all that's needed.
Be sure to remove as much air as possible in each snack baggie to reduce freezer burn. They will keep well for about three or four months.
Add 1 tsp. lemon or lime juice to keep the color from turning.
A comment about adding lemon or lime juice. You only need to do that if you don't place each baggie of mashed avocado in the freezer right away before the discoloration has time to occur. I've never added when freezing and never had discoloration.
Can you freeze avocados for use later?

You most certainly can but they need to be mashed first. Stir in a tad bit of lemon juice (not too much or they'll be too watery) and freeze in individual freezer bags with air removed. I do this whenever they are on sale and they stay in good condition for about three or four months.
