Hi there! If you’ve stumbled upon this post, you might have come here from my Medium account where I’m narrating my own personal challenge of going vegan for the month of May.
Today I posted about vegan Taco Night and my recipe for killer vegan (and raw) Guacamole.
Guacamole is awesome. It’s green. It’s slimy. It looks like something that created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But boy is it yummy on tortilla chips, tacos, and a host of other foods. And it’s full of good-for-you stuff, too.
Here’s how I make it.
Ingredients
(Serves: 4-5)
4-5 Haas avocados, pitted, insides scooped into a bowl
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt, or to taste
3-4 stalks of cilantro, minced
1/4 red onion, minced *
2 cloves garlic, minced *
* I use the zest attachment on my cheese grater to mince the onion and garlic
Directions:
- Throw everything in a bowl.
- Mush it up until it’s nice and smooth
And that’s it! Easy, right?
A bit about Avocados
Avocado’s are a super food. They have more potassium than a banada (and way less carbs), a kick of several vitamins (B 5&6, C, E, K), and cancer-fighting monounsaturated fats.
Are you having troubles ‘going’? Have an avocado!
Are your eyes tired, or you’re having eye problems? Have an avocado!
Achy joints? Arthritis? An avocado may be able to help with that too.
Avocado can be incorporated into salads, as topings on cheeseburgers and chili. Be creative.
Yum!
Happy Eating!
