Delicious Guacamole
Avocados contain the same healthy fat (called oleic acid) contained in olive oil that reduces inflammation and helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. It is high in fiber as well as a number of vitamins and minerals that your body needs for functioning. The potassium in avocados helps keep your heart healthy and can help reduce blood pressure.
Guacamole is another diverse food that is helpful with Healthy Eating all through the day. So spoon some on your scrambled eggs and omelettes, or spread it on your morning toast. Use guacamole instead of mayonnaise in sandwiches or eat it with chopped carrots or cucumbers alongside your lunch. For dinner, top Mexican food or any kind of fish with a generous scoop of guacamole, and add it as a garnish for chili or bean soup.
2 avocados
1 tomato
Half an onion *
1 clove garlic, grated
Lemon juice, fresh
Cilantro (coriander)
Sea salt
* I used a red onion, but any onion will do.
This is a quick and easy 10 minute recipe that will impress house guests, is all natural and healthy for your skin. Just chop and mash up all the ingredients in a bowl, then throw a couple sprigs of cilantro on top for presentation.
