    Buying guacamole from the store is something I will never do! I always have to make it fresh, and it tastes way better that way too! My guacamole recipe is so simple and you can whip it up in no time! Store-bought guacamole usually has added unnecessary ingredients and chemicals that I refuse to put in my body. We have to worry about additives in guacamole too?!!! I know, its crazy! Since becoming vegan, I have had to look at the ingredient lists way more than I ever have before. Companies are so sneaky with their labels! One thing I have learned and heard in more ways than one is to to focus on the ingredient list, not the nutrition facts label (unless its full of sugar, that’s a different story). People are beginning to look at nutrition labels more but they should be focusing on the ingredient list to make sure they are buying real, whole food and not highly processed, fake food. The nutrition facts can be very misleading. I am thinking of doing a whole blog post on this topic! 

    I don’t believe in counting calories, especially if you are on the plant-based vegan diet, unless you are trying to gain weight. You should not have to worry about the scale at all when your diet is filled with veggies, fruits, nuts/seeds and REAL, living food. Know what ingredients are in the food you eat and your body will thank you 🙂 If you can’t pronounce an ingredient, it’s probably not real, and it’s not a good idea to put that ingredient into your system. That ingredient will not be recognized by your body, which then leads to a mess of health issues. So lets be more mindful of what we consume and get to know the ingredient lists! 

    This Perfectly Simple Guacamole would taste even better with my Watermelon Freeze-a-Rita!

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 large ripe avocados
    • 1 tomato, chopped
    • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
    • 1/2 of a jalapeño, finely chopped ( optional, I removed half of the seeds so it wasn’t as spicy)
    • Freshly-squeezed juice from 1 lime
    • Dash of sea salt and pepper, to taste

    Instructions

    1. Spoon out the avocados into a small bowl and mash.
    2. Chop the tomato, onion, jalapeño and cilantro and add to bowl with avocado.
    3. Mix well. Add lime juice, sea salt and pepper.
    4. Mix well and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Adding the avocado nut into the bowl of guacamole will keep it from turning brown!

      Hi Shannon,
      I am the one at the party who is the most likely to eat most of the guacamole and chips–I love it that much! Thank you for sharing this healthy and delicious recipe at the Plant-Based Potluck Party Blog Hop! I sincerely appreciate it!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
