Deviled Eggs Got a Glow-Up — Meet the Avocado-Filled Upgrade Your Snack-Game Needs

You know those moments when your kids ask for a snack 17 seconds after you cleaned the kitchen? These avocado-filled eggs are your new secret weapon. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and a little spicy sass, they’re like deviled eggs — but better, classier, and less likely to stain your couch. Plus, our in-house nutritionist Shawn Borup, aka the Y food whisperer, ensured they’re as nourishing as they are snack-worthy.

Avocado deviled eggs topped with chives and cayenne on a white plate, Healthy avocado-filled eggs with Greek yogurt and jalapeños, YMCA high-protein snack idea with avocado and eggs

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 cup avocado, diced
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼–½ tsp Himalayan salt
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
  • ¼ tbsp black pepper
  • 1–2 tbsp finely chopped jalapeños
  • 1 tbsp green onion
  • Chopped chives (for garnish)

For an extra fresh bite (and bonus mom points), Shawn recommends using organic eggs and avocados when possible — your taste buds and your body will thank you.

Directions:

  1. Cut the eggs in half and pop those yolks into a bowl with the avocado.

  2. Mash until smooth (or until your arm workout feels complete).

  3. Stir in yogurt, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  4. Add jalapeños and green onion — feel free to adjust heat depending on whether you’re feeding tiny humans or spice lovers.

  5. Spoon into egg whites. Garnish with chives and a little cayenne if you’re feelin’ fancy.

Pro Tips:

  • Fresh local eggs are where it’s at. You could grab a generic dozen at the store, but why not get to know your local farmer and live your best farm-to-fridge life? Plus, your brunch will taste smugly superior.

  • Swap mayo for plain Greek yogurt. It’s creamy, tangy, and doesn’t come with a side of “What’s even in this?” vibes. Bonus points: protein boost, and you can still call it deviled without summoning the food guilt demons.

  • Smash ’em on toast. Avocado toast just got an upgrade, honey. Or skip the bread, throw one of these bad boys next to a green smoothie, and pretend you’re the kind of person who meal preps on Sundays instead of just crying in the Aldi parking lot.

  • Great for meal prepping snacks, perfect for that after-school snack! Your kids may not even notice it’s healthy (your secret’s safe with us)
