Method 1: Wrap each whole avocado tightly with plastic wrap. Place each piece of fruit into a Ziploc freezer bag and seal tight.
Method 2: Cut in half (no need to peel or remove the pit). Sprinkle lemon juice on each half. Wrap each avocado half in plastic wrap then place in a freezer safe bag. Press out all the air, zip close, then freeze.
Method 3: Peel and remove pit. Slice or dice the avocados. Sprinkle on lemon or lime juice. Place cuts on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about an hour then transfer the frozen slices into a Ziploc bag. Seal tight, removing all the air.
Method 4: Peel and remove Pit. Mash the avocados with a fork or in a food processor with a little bit of lemon or lime juice. Store in individual serving sizes in Ziploc freezer bags or freezer-safe containers, with all the air removed.

- Get a cheap spray bottle and fill with lemon juice. Then, you can spray your avocado pieces evenly with lemon juice before freezing so they don't brown.

- Make sure to use airtight containers or freezer Ziploc bags when storing avocado in the freezer.

- Avocado may be brown after thawing. Use them right away or toss with lemon or lime juice.

- To thaw, place the frozen avocado in a bowl of cold water for about thirty minutes or thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

- You can make guacamole and freeze it too! Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
