2 minute guacamole! 3 ingredients! Super simple guacamole cannot be emphasized enough. Plus it is creamy, delightful, and healthy.
It is best tasting served with Margaritas of course ;). But also makes a great healthy snack.
It’s guacamole, it’s fresh, it’s SO easy. Need I really say more??
The way I make guacamole is either with a mortar and pestle such as this one, since it is fun and fancy and looks great served in it. But a potato masher such as this one works really well too.
Let’s talk avocado nutrition. They are a true superfood while also decadent and super delicious! I usually end up eating one every day in some form. Even just cut in half with some salt and a spoon is a fantastic breakfast or snack.
They are most known of course for being full of healthy fats. This is true.
A lesser known fact, avocados are also full of Potassium! They are the best source for potassium out there, with twice as much as bananas have! 30% recommend daily value in one whole avocado. Potassium is a necessary electrolyte mineral that has many functions. Two of the main benefits to potassium intake are muscle cramp reduction, more energy, and muscle building. Making avocado an especially great food for athlete and active people. Learn more about the benefits of potassium here. If you want to learn more about the benefits of avocados go here.

*Note: if choosing chips to go along with your guacamole, please choose ORGANIC ones if they are corn based. Corn is one of the most heavily GMO based foods in the USA, and GMO corn poses many potential health risks. Also GMO corn is not nearly as nutritional.
Purchasing organic corn products ensures that it is not GMO, because it can not be classified as organic if it is produced with GMO’s. For more info on the problems with GMO corn, here is a good link. (Of course I think it is important to get everything organic if possible).
