Taste the Goodness of Life- Presenting the Ultimate Summer Guacamole!

You don’t have to dream about the perfect guac anymore as I have come up with a super flavorful, light and healthy recipe! The secret is the combination of the tanginess of mango, and of course the perfect ripeness of the avocado!  Plus having the right balance of lime juice, red onion and sea salt is essential.  This simple plant-based creation will win over non-avocado lovers instantly!

 You can enjoy this delicious summer guacamole as an appetizer, snack or side dish, depending on your mood and level of “hungriness!” =)

Just a little bit of a fun fact! Avocados are a good source of the healthy fat called monounsaturated fat. This “good fat” reduces levels of bad cholesterol in your blood and lowers your risk of stroke and heart disease. In addition, avocados are rich in vitamin K, Vitamin B9, vitamin B6, vitamin B5 vitamin C, and vitamin E.2
Think of all the heath benefits plus all the yummy-ness you can get from this guac attack!

Let the summertime celebration begin!
