Classic guacamole with a superfood twist
Want to know one of the first dishes that I made after transforming my diet? Guacamole. I became obsessed with perfecting guacamole!
I love mine loaded with lime, the perfect ratio of garlic and salt and lots of cilantro. Sometimes I don’t even put onion in it! To me, it’s all about balancing those few flavors.
Well, little E loves guacamole (she calls it “mockamoey”) so even though it’s already wonderfully healthy, I wanted to add a superfood twist to enhance the nutrition!
For this recipe, I added spinach, goji berries and pumpkin seeds to my classic guacamole.
The spinach is pretty much undetectable while adding a nice dose of iron and calcium!
The goji berries add a subtle sweetness which pairs so perfectly with all of the other flavors and gives this dish an antioxidant boost.
The pumpkin seeds add a nice crunch texture while adding iron, protein and zinc!
How to Make Superfood Guacamole
First, you want to make sure you have some perfectly ripe avocados ready to go! You want them to be soft when your press in with your finger, but not overly soft.
Start by washing and chopping your cilantro, spinach and red onion.
Wash and cut open three small-medium size hass avocados and add to a medium size bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and adjust seasonings to your liking!
It’s so easy and so healthy. Serve alongside chips, sliced veggies or add to toast!
