Description
Homemade guacamole is the best way to ensure it’s truly low-carb—no hidden sugars, starches, or unnecessary additives. Plus, it tastes way fresher than store-bought versions!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 small lime (juiced)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ½ small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for spice)
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes (optional, but keep it minimal to reduce carbs)
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Mash the avocados – In a bowl, use a fork to mash them to your desired consistency.
- Add lime juice – This prevents browning and adds a fresh zing.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients – Stir in cilantro, onions, jalapeño, tomatoes, salt, and garlic powder.
- Taste and adjust – Add more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Serve immediately – Or store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent oxidation.
Notes
- Use lime or lemon juice – The acidity slows oxidation, keeping it green longer.
- Store with the avocado pit – This helps reduce air exposure and slows browning.
- Cover with plastic wrap – Press it directly onto the guacamole to prevent contact with air.
- Refrigerate properly – It stays fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge.
