Enjoy this tasty snack while getting all the health benefits of avocados!
Avocados are packed with vitamins & nutrients, including healthy fats that are actually good for you. I’ve listed a few of them here:
Health Benefits
- High in healthy fats (monounsaturated fats) that are beneficial for heart health
- Fiber keeps you fuller longer as it slows down rate of digestion, which reduces carbohydrate absorption that can help with weight loss
- Helps balance blood sugar levels
- Low in carbohydrates
- Antioxidants to help combat diseases like certain cancers
- High in Vitamin C reduce inflammation for immune support
- Can help reduce cholesterol
- Great for eye health
Ingredients:
- 3 Large Avocados, ripe, the softer the better
- 1/2 Onion, red or yellow
- 1/2 Tomato
- 1/2 Lemon
- 1/2 Lime
- Fresh Cilantro
- Salt, pepper and garlic to taste, I like to use fresh garlic
Follow these easy steps:
- Mix 3 large avocados in a bowl by mushing with fork to leave a little chunky
- Squeeze ½ lemon and ½ lime into bowl
- Dice tomato and onion and mix lightly into bowl
- Chop cilantro and add a little to the mix, a little goes a long way
- Season with salt, pepper and garlic to taste
Pair with chips and enjoy! I love using Lime chips, but you can use any that you like!
You can add guac to other recipes as well such as a salad topping, avocado toast, or top off your favorite dish like Steak Fajita Bowls (I’ll be posting this recipe soon)
** Tip to keep your Guac from browning, add extra lemon juice and put the avocado pit (seed) back into the bowl
