I’m so backlogged on writing blog posts coz I’m trying to get my website finished, so I’ve been trying to avoid creating new recipes as a whole.
To be honest it’s really hard, but I’m trying.
Anyway, so this weekend I planned to do some cathing up, but then I just got a box of protein chips from Quest Nutrition, and I needed to come up with something.
I’m part of the Quest Squad – Quest Nutrition’s ambassadorship program – which involves completing a “mission” every month to spread the Quest word. Missions are basically making a post to social media that meets certain requirements. And then in return they send you something as a thank you!
With the Super Bowl in the air, they sent over this box of protein chips – one of each flavor – in advance to use in the next mission.
I thought of keeping it simple, but still related to the Game Day theme.
So what goes well with Quest Nutrition Chili Lime Protein Chips? Guacamole!
So here’s my recipe for the super easy and also kind of spicy guac that comes together in just 7 minutes
Even my photo shoot took longer than that! I probably spent a good 45 minutes there.
What it takes:
The Basic: Avo, Lemon, Onion, Tomato, Cilantro
The spice: Jalapeño Peppers, Cumin, Cayenne
How to store Guacamole:
If you want to bulk-prep this guac because its so good, try this storage method from Downshiftology:
Place it packed in an airtight container, cover with an inch of water, close the container and refrigerate! It should last for 3 days, but make sure you drain out the water before digging in.
How to use:
- As an appetizer that’s vegan, low-carb, keto, paleo!
- At your next tail gate or potluck party (size up)
- A single serve guacamole indulgence; This recipe makes enough for one!
