Guacamole is a traditional Mexican dip made mainly from Avocados. You can buy readymade guacamole, but invariably it contains sugar and other artificial ingredients. That’s a shame because guacamole is high in fat and fiber, which makes it very keto-friendly.
The good news is that making your own guacamole is a quick and easy process, and homemade guac is much tastier and healthier than store-bought stuff.
Whip up a batch of this keto guacamole and enjoy it with veggies, pork rinds, low-carb corn chips, or just straight from the jar by the spoonful. It’s delicious and perfect for the low-carb ketogenic diet.
