You had me at avocado, right?!\u00a0 My heart is full for anything guacamole, avocados, verde salsa and anything dippy.\u00a0 Anything I can dip a tortilla chip in, ahh . . . I once saw the cutest t-shirt at Target that read, \u201cChips. Salsa. Repeat.\u201d\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t I buy that when I saw that shirt because that is me at every single meal, ha!<\/p>\n

So this recipe is, well, let\u2019s say interesting.\u00a0 And before you say, \u201cWhy mess with guacamole?\u201d\u00a0 I totally understand, but this is just an option, not everyday for me, but an option once in awhile.\u00a0 I have added a little chopped broccoli to a simple guacamole for a little boost of nutrients \u2013 you might say.\u00a0 I like broccoli most days but I also may get a little bored with the veggie, too.\u00a0 What is green is green and as I do taste a hint of broccoli, I also extremely enjoy guacamole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Avocados<\/b>\u00a0are known as a healthy fat meaning it is high in monounsaturated fats.\u00a0 This type of fat comes from plants and can be easily broken down in the body.\u00a0 Plus, the benefits are huge from lowering LDL (lousy) cholesterol and increasing HDL (healthy) cholesterol.\u00a0 This is extremely beneficial for preventing any type of unwanted heart disease.<\/p>\n

      Broccoli<\/b>\u00a0is also a powerhouse when it comes to nutrition. It is rich in antioxidants including lutein and zeaxanthin that have been shown to be beneficial in preventing oxidative stress and cellular damage in the eyes.\u00a0 Many studies have shown that eating cruciferous veggies may protect against certain types of cancers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
