Easy whole30 avocado tuna boats are filled with a creamy tuna (or salmon) filling and topped with fresh herbs. A delicious, healthy, and easy way to do lunch whole30 and paleo style! Ready in only 5 minutes.
These avo tuna boats are so satisfying and delish! And a little bit of fresh thyme on top just gives it that extra kick of flavor! I made and photographed this recipe in just a few minutes. Literally was one of the easiest things I have ever made.
And it’s chocked full of protein and brain food to keep you going throughout the day!
Wether it’s lunch on the go or just a lazy day, these whole30 tuna boats can easily be prepped ahead of time and served up whenever you’re hungry!
behind the scenes eating: avocado chicken galore!
It’s so funny how everyone comments on all the yummy things I get to eat (which yes, I do eat a lot of homemade dishes), but what they don’t see is my everyday norm.
But the fact that will I eat chicken and avo salads for every meal five days in a row never really makes it’s way to the big screens. Because I guess that would be pretty boring… A blog made up of only chicken avo salads; BORING!
Times when I’m not making recipes for the blog, it’s just plain old easy cooking. I throw my veggies in a bowl, top it with some baked chicken, and dressing. Baked chicken breast from Trader Joe’s is my staple protein then I add in all my veggies in around it. Busy life = easy eating. So, to mix it up I’ve been prepping these pretty little avo boats to keep me fueled throughout the week.
Also, can I just say the only thing I’ve beencravingthis week is avocados!! Like, all of them. I don’t know why… Send help, please!
P.S. You will need mayonnaise for this recipe. To make your own whole30 mayo check out this bomb recipe!

For the filing combine all the ingredients (except the avocados) and mix.
Fill the avocado halves with a large scoop of filling (I use an ice-cream scoop for this). Top with more green onion and fresh thyme leaves if you want.

HI! I’m all new to this Whole30 and I have a question. I use Follow your heart no soy veganaise, is it whole30 approved? Can I use that instead of the paleo mayo?

Hi Linda, it isn’t whole30, but here is one that is: https://whole30.com/2014/05/mayo/ 🙂

What is the nutritional value of these. And the serving per person in 1/2 an avacado correct? I want to add it to my carb manager but the tecipe doesnt say anything on nutritional facts. Also what would it be with chicken instead of tuna?
5 Kaylie Reply
Hi Gabrielle, the nutrition value is a the end of the recipe- based off of one serving (1/2 boat).

How do you store the other halves and how long will last?
7 Kaylie Reply
Hi Kelle, I would store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For Whole30, what is the carb in the meal? I added the avocado to the chicken salad. Yours says don’t do that. Why? Thanks!
9 Lana Reply
Avocado generally had 12g of carbs

Hi – looks great! Is the relish just regular dill pickle relish?
