Confession hour: I have a huge- giant – massive – obsession with all things avocado. And by that, 90% revolves around guacamole [the other 10% I leave to this avocado goat cheese toast.]

Since getting involved with BeachBody and the 21 Day Fix, it was brought to my attention that, while avocados are a healthy fat, they (along with most things in life) should be enjoyed in moderation.

Throughout the years, I’ve made a fair share of homemade guac. Honestly, I prefer the homemade kind compared to the restaurant version, but that’s probably because I jam pack it with other ingredients to lighten it up a bit.

See, when you add different veggies into the guacamole, it packs it with lighter ingredients, making it lower in calories, as well as more guac! (Which is always the better, am I right?)

• 3 avocados
• 1 jalapeño
• 1 cup of fresh spinach
• 1 handful of cilantro
• 1 medium tomato
• 3 small bell peppers (or 1 medium pepper)
• 1/2 medium red onion
• 1 lime
• Salt, pepper, red chili flakes, garlic powder *to taste (I usually use 1/2 tablespoon of each)

1. Slice up all your veggies + place into a large bowl
2. Mash your avocados + mix in with chopped veggies
3. Mix in your seasonings, tasting as you go along + tweaking to your own buds
4. Serve with chips + chopped veggies or on some toast, in tacos, whatever your heart desires 🙂

*tip: if you’re not eating the guacamole right away, place the pits of the avocados in the guacamole. I’m not sure why, but it keeps it green!

Questions for you:

1. Do you share my love for guacamole?
2. What’s your favorite dip?
3. How do you eat your tacos?
