Ermahgerd....avocaaaaado!
Hey hey diva friends!!!
tee hee hee...it was so cute I had to <3 Let's talk about avocados....more specifically GUACAMOLE!!!!! If you don't love guacamole get out, we can't be friends.
The best condiment on the planet if you ask me, has to be guacamole. It’s easy to make, delicious and filled with healthy fats, vitamins, enzymes and fiber. You go to the store and there are so many pre made versions of guacamole that are loaded with artificial preservative and MSG. Or even worse, those flavor packets with bad iodized salt, MSG and dehydrated vegetables that you’re supposed to mix in with wholesome precious avocados. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!
If people knew how insanely easy guacamole really is they wouldn’t be buying this stuff. Fresh, homemade guacamole from scratch takes less than 10 minutes and is 10 million times better than anything you can get from the store. (although - honesty moment - the organic Wholly Guacamole brand is pretty darn good.)
There are different variations and you can get creative. Including a fresh chopped heirloom tomato adds extra burst of flavor and color. If you like it spicy you can experiment with adding different hot peppers. The options are endless. But I’d love to share with you just how easy guacamole can be.
The Basics of Beautiful Guacamole
The most basic version of guacamole that you can mash together in under 5 minutes.
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 clove fresh minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- handful chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Mash the avocado and mix in the rest of the ingredients.
While some days it’s best to keep things simple, other times you might want to go the extra mile.
The Ultimate Flavor Filled Guacamole

Fast - easy - delicious AND healthy. Win win win :)
