Low Carb Guacamole

low carb recipes: guacamole

Avocados are great in low carb recipes. A one-ounce serving of avocado has three grams of carbs, but two of those grams are fiber, leaving just one net carb gram per serving of avocado. In addition to dietary fiber, avocados also contain healthy fats and small amounts of lots of different vitamins and minerals.

The following is a quick and easy recipe for guacamole. This is great as a dip for low carb tortilla chips and fresh veggies!
