I LOVE avocados!!!

I would say avocados are my absolute favourite piece of produce to eat. I would also say that guacamole is my favourite dip of all time… and anyone who knows me, knows that I love my dips!
 
In the recipe below I will show you how to make my delicious Guacamole with a Kick! Why with a kick you ask? Well, I add in a secret ingredient to the mix that not only gives another dimension to my guac’s flavour, but also adds awesome health benefits as well.
 

5 Great Benefits of the Main Ingredients used:

1. Avocados – A medium size avocado has a whopping 10 – 13 grams of fiber.
2. Cilantro – Cilantro is an amazing and effective agent for toxic metal cleansing.
3. Lemons – Lemons are acidic outside of our bodies, but when consumed they are alkaline-forming helping to restore balance in our body’s pH levels.
4. Red Onions – Red Onions are the best food sources of Chromium.
5. Ginger – Ginger has been shown to minimize muscle soreness from exercise and the progression of muscle pain
