Easy Recipe – Basic 4 Guacamole from The 21-Day Sugar Detox

This recipe is from my  book, The 21-Day Sugar Detox. Watch me make this recipe in the video at the end of this post!

Guacamole is always a fan-favorite whether it's to enjoy while watching The Big Game, topping lettuce-wraps, or just for snacking or topping off a meal pretty much anytime. When the craving for guacamole hits, it's easy to think that grabbing a premade variety at the grocery store is your best, bet, but this 4-ingredient recipe will quickly change your mind! For a fraction of the price, and just a quick time investment, you can whip up a super-fresh batch of the green dip that'll easily become your new go-to-guac!

Of course, there are lots of options of more ingredients you can add to this guacamole to kick it up from here, but this is a basic recipe that'll keep you from feeling overwhelmed when buying ingredients. Once you buy the avocados, most of these ingredients are those you may already have on-hand (lemons/limes – use lemon juice in this recipe if you have everything else on-hand and are missing limes, cilantro, and shallots are always around in my kitchen!).

Enjoy!
