Hi there! If you’ve stumbled upon this post, you might have come here from my Medium account<\/a> where I’m narrating my own personal challenge of going vegan for the month of May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today I posted about vegan Taco Night and my recipe for killer vegan (and raw) Guacamole.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I make it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

(Serves: 4-5)<\/p>\n

4-5 Haas avocados, pitted, insides scooped into a bowl<\/p>\n

1 tsp lemon juice<\/p>\n

1 tsp salt, or to taste<\/p>\n

3-4 stalks of cilantro, minced<\/p>\n

1\/4 red onion, minced *<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic, minced *<\/p>\n

* I use the zest attachment on my cheese grater to mince the onion and garlic<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Throw everything in a bowl.<\/li>\n
  2. Mush it up until it’s nice and smooth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that’s it! Easy, right?<\/p>\n

    A bit about Avocados<\/h1>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Are you having troubles ‘going’? Have an avocado!<\/p>\n

    Are your eyes tired, or you’re having eye problems? Have an avocado!<\/p>\n

    Achy joints? Arthritis? An avocado may be able to help with that too.<\/p>\n

    Avocado can be incorporated into salads, as topings on cheeseburgers and chili. Be creative.<\/p>\n

    Yum!<\/p>\n

    Happy Eating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
