Keto Guacamole
Recipe by Brandon McDearis
This classic guacamole is the perfect addition to a ketogenic diet. The one tablespoon of olive oil per avocado gives this recipe a whopping 4.4:1 of fat to net carbs plus protein ratio. A ratio like that makes this recipe a great supplement to a ketogenic diet, leaving lots of room to pair this guacamole with low-carb chips and vegetables, or a high-protein piece of meat or fish. The abundance of nutrients and antioxidant properties of this recipe are an added bonus that makes it all the more appealing.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 ripe avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1-2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION:
- Put avocados, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and Tabasco in a large bowl. Mash together thoroughly with a potato masher or fork.
