    You can't get much easier than this Simple Guacamole Recipe. Also known as an Avocado Dip recipe, it is delicious with chips, veggies, and more! Perfect for a quick snack or a tasty appetizer everyone is sure to enjoy.

    Avocados are rich in nutrients with good-for-you fats, vitamins, potassium, fiber, and a whole lot more!

    The green, smooth-skinned avocados are usually Florida or Dominican avocados. The bumpy-skinned, dark green avocados that turn purplish-black when ripe are normally from California and are the Hass variety.

    The Hass avocado contains more good-for-you fats that are typically considered good not only for your heart but also for your skin.

    This Simple Guacamole recipe is Whole 30 approved. Just be sure to use either fresh lemon juice or make sure your bottled juice contains only lemon juice.

    Top Tips

    • Use frozen avocados for this Simple Guacamole. The texture is not an issue since you are mashing them up well.
    • Avocados ripen well if placed in a brown paper bag in a cool place, like a closet, for a few days. Just don't forget about them as they can ripen quickly.
    • Sometimes, after sitting in the fridge, Guacamole can thicken up. Slowly add water to the bowl of guacamole and stir until desired thickness is achieved.
    • To tell if an avocado is ripe, give it a gentle squeeze and if it yields to the pressure it is good to go!

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
