It’s that time of year when we’re all trying to get back on track~ new year, fresh start to our healthy eating habits. However… it’s also almost time for football playoffs, which means greasy game-day snacks to throw you off.
Whether you’re headed out to a Super Bowl party, or entertaining at home~this guacamole is the perfect dip to keep you feeling satisfied, without breaking your diet goals. It’s super fresh & flavorful, and an easy crowd-pleaser!
I mixed up a large batch of this guac for me & my boyfriend to snack on during our New Year’s traditions… staying up for the ball drop at midnight, & watching the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. It was the perfect snack & we both couldn’t stop eating it!
Skip the pasty green store-bought stuff, & make your own at home. All you need are some utensils & a few fresh ingredients! & Don’t forget to save an avocado pit or two~ they help your guacamole stay fresh & keep it from turning brown. Just stick them in the middle of your prepared guacamole until you’re ready to serve!
Try this served with sliced vegetables (red bell pepper, carrots) for a healthier twist, or go for some gluten-free corn tortilla chips. Guacamole is a great condiment too~ try it on top of your burger or salad!
Let me know if you try this out, & Happy New Year to you all! Best wishes for a happy, healthy year. 🙂

We make a similar recipe often in a molcajete which is a cool lava stone grinding bowl you see in mexican restaurants.
Try the Lundberg rice chips also instead of tortilla chips, which are non GMO and USDA organic and delicious.

Where do you find the Lundberg rice chips? I will have to try them!

September 20, 2014 at 4:22 pmHi – have found them in local (NYS) regular supermarkets, and Mrs Greens (Health food). They are a CA company Lundberg Family farms, so hopefully available. They also make some great brown rice ( I know probably not Paleo)
