Self Improvement with Irinä: Nutrition: Recipes: Homemade Guacamole

Hola amigos! (possibly the only Spanish words i am able to say correctly 😂)

Today I am sharing with you a super quick insight to spice up your meals and snacks and this is the fastest recipe for homemade Guacamole💕! I am SO IN LOVE with it, i can sneak it in every savory meal and I am guild-free as it's very nutritious. Let's talk a bit about it:

This is the one I made following this recipe 💖

Guacamole is a traditional Mexican spread mostly invented around 1500's by the Aztecs. Avocado is the key-ingredient/base of this sauce and the traditional recipe describes its mixture with white onions, lime juice, tomato, cilantro and salt. Over the years, the recipe has been really popular and ever since the countries managed to import avocados it became a trend. Nowdays, I have seen (and tasted) different variations of guacamole with more, less or alternative ingredients such us red onions, jalapeno, peppers, curry and even potato (!?). My recipe is maybe the most simple of all as I prefer the original recipe WITHOUT the onions (raw onions are really harsh to my stomach). I add cilantro whenever i have it available but the mixture tastes great even without it.

You will need:

1 large ripe avocado
1-2 limes (you will need the juice)
1 tomato
salt

Use a potato masher or your fork to smash the (peeled off) avocado in a bowl, some lime juice to make it as creamy as you prefer.

Chop your tomato (and/or cilantro/onion/jalapenos if you chose this alternative) and blend them all together.

Drop a pinch of salt and some more lime juice and voila!

You can sneak it on your meat, in your salad, enjoy it single, with pasta, tortillas or any combo you may fancy!

I love it with some rice chia waffles and boiled egg as a packed snack.

Hyper delicious and it saves lives for those cravings - perfect for low carb plans ^_^

Furthermore, Guacamole is not only a very tasty option to go, it is also packed with a dozen of benefits for your health (and physique).

That's all folks! These are all the necessary information to help you develop nutrition awareness. In my opinion, it is crucial to be conscious and aware of what you eat in order to understand how your organism responds and as a consequence to pick better options! If you have love guacamole or you want to try it yourself please feel free to leave your feedback with pictures, suggestions etc!

Have a wonderful day sweet faces!
