I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like guacamole. It really is the perfect dish to bring to a party or serve as an appetizer. Not only is it a crowd favorite, but guac is also good for us too! It’s totally raw, which means it contains all the living enzymes and nutrients that nature intended. Guac is also a great source of healthy fats, which contrary to popular belief are not to be feared!!
My Best Ever Guacamole features many nutrient superstars, including:
Cilantro: This green herb is a potent detoxifier and is known to help remove heavy metals from the body. Some people love it and some people hate it, but it’s a definite MUST in any guacamole recipe.
Hemp Seeds: These are the most nutritious seed in the world! Hemp Seeds are also a complete protein and offer just the right balance of essential fatty acids.
