Guacamole
You honestly can’t go wrong with some lovely guac! In my opinion, it’s way better than any sour cream salsa mixture AND you’re getting better nutrients.
Avocados are a unique fruit, in which they are high in monounsaturated fats (the good fats). They help get rid of the bad cholesterol in our blood, making our heart happy :) Avocados also support you with fibre to keep you fuller longer, vitamin K to help proteins with bone metabolism, and a great source of pantothenic acid which helps with the breakdown of your macronutrients for energy!
Now just because there are these great nutrients in avocados doesn’t mean you can go eat all the guac you want, this is just a healthier choice than that Ruffles brand ranch dip. Try it for your next get together with your friends/family and don’t be surprised when it disappears in less than 5 min!
Ingredients:
-
2 each Haas avocados, peeled and pitted
-
2 tbsp. (30mL) Onion, minced
-
1 Clove garlic, minced
-
To taste - Salt and pepper
-
To taste - Ground cayenne pepper (optional)
-
1 tsp. (5mL) Lemon juice
Directions
-
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
-
If you don’t have a food processor, mash the avocado with a fork first then mix in the rest of the ingredients.
-
Ps: If you want it to taste its absolute best leave it overnight so the flavour can soak, I promise you it will taste 25436x better!

Enjoy! :)
