healthy guacamole for anti-inflammatory diet

Fixing your diet is the first step to curing your body.

So many of the foods that we take into our bodies on a daily basis are enemies to our health, meaning that they can cause reaction that harm our bodies.

Inflammation of our internal organs can cause us to develop chronic illness, such as Lupus or diabetes to mention a few.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, which is also known as LES. I have tried hard since then to learn more about the illness to improve my eating habits and to eat more healthy to cure my body a. little bit at a time.

One of my favorite fruits (and yes, it is a fruit) is the delicious avocado. I always used to think it was a vegetable, even though I grew up in Mexico where it is an ingredient that is always is on the table! We even had avocado trees just outside our home and all we had to do was go outside and pick them – it was such a great blessing.

I am talking about avocados because today, I am going to share a delicious and easy guacamole recipe that you will love.

Why are avocados healthy and good for an anti-inflammatory diet?

In my years of studying and learning more about lupus, I discovered that good fats are a very important part of an anti-inflammatory diet. There are so many different health benefits of avocados that I can list them all, but they are definitely always on our shopping list. The fats that are found in avocados are heart-healthy fats which help prevent heart disease, which is a common “feature” of lupus and other auto-immune disorders. That is one reason why I try to include it in as many recipes as possible.

There are many ways to eat avocados, but one of my favorites is making a simple guacamole recipe.

To make this classic guacamole recipe, you will need the following healthy ingredients:

2 perfectly ripe avocados
roma tomatoes
fresh cilantro
white onion (you can use a red onion if you prefer)
1 jalapeño pepper (optional)
plenty of lime juice
salt to taste

The best way to make guacamole is to start by smashing the avocados in a large bowl, and then adding in the rest of the simple ingredients before mixing well. You can then adjust the flavor by adding salt and additional lime juice until it has the flavor you are looking for. You can also use a food processor if you prefer, but make sure not to overmix unless you want a more creamy texture.

What goes well with guacamole?

Guacamole is a very versatile Mexican food that can accompany many different types of meals. My favorite way to eat it, however, is with some delicious tortilla chips (this grain free option is perfect), while sitting and watching my favorite show, a game, or a movie with my family.

You can also use it to make avocado toast, with burritos, tacos, or salads, or even with eggs. As long as you follow the steps above, you will have a great recipe to use in a variety of ways.
