Easy Peasy Guacamole!

Easy Peasy Guacamole!


This is a great, fresh, healthy recipe! Avocados are a fantastic SUPERFOOD - Jet fuel for moms!


What makes it a superfood? Well, check this out:
  • It’s a super energy source.
  • This great tasting multivitamin powerhouse is rich in antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E and contains most of the B vitamins
  • Avocados are full of vitamin K (for strong bones and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system) and you will find the highest concentration of protein and vitamin E of any fruit in an avocado.
  • The green pulp of the fruit is also a good source of minerals like potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and zinc – so scoop it all out!
  • There is much more to avocados than that lengthy list of vitamins and minerals. We are just getting started. The combination of what is in an avocado is what really packs a health boosting punch.
