Heres what a nutritionist thinks:

I have to admit, Im a little surprised its just now happening.

After all, theres already avocadoice cream,milk, andportable avo toast.

But it turns out that making puffed avocado snacks was tricky to execute.

TBH, I wouldnt know they were made of avocado just by trying them.
