Easy Peasy Guacamole

Don’t you just love a great guacamole?

It’s a fantastic way to get some healthy fats into your diet, and it's jam packed with flavour. It can be switched up every time you make it by adding different vegetables but the main ingredient is avocado.

Avocado is a nutritional powerhouse. It’s high in antioxidants, fibre, and oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated fatty acid that’s beneficial for heart health. This unique fruit contains vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, and folate. It also has lutein and zeaxanthin which are really good for eye health.

I like to purchase avocados before they are ripe, then they get washed in my fruit & veggie soak and left on the counter to ripen. Once they're ripe, I store them in the fridge. They will keep for quite a while in the fridge, but if I'm not going to use them right away they get cut into cubes and frozen.

Here’s a quick video to show you how I make my guac! Enjoy!

Meet Sue Christianson

In 2012 I was employed in the oil and gas industry working week long stretches of days or nights with 2 hours of driving tacked on to the 12 hour shifts. Needless to say, I had to squeeze my living into my days off. Those precious days off consisted of household and yard chores, whirlwind cooking sessions, some socializing, travelling to visit family in the US, and helping my mom whenever I could. Feeling exhausted was the norm but I didn’t have the time nor the inclination to try anything different to fix that. Self care was not exactly a priority for me.

During this time I was watching my mom go through the aging process and I must say this was difficult for me. It’s agonizing watching a loved one’s health decline, especially when better choices would have made a difference. Mom had a smattering of lifestyle illnesses; diabetes, high blood pressure and lack of mobility. She was not open to suggestions for changing her diet or lack of exercise, not even a little bit! Her situation looked hopeless and I felt helpless. I wanted so badly for her to be the way she used to be! Sadly, that was not to be and Mom eventually succumbed to dementia.

One day, I had an epiphany; if I didn’t take control of my own wellbeing I was destined to be just like Mom! There was no way I wanted to spend my “golden” years swallowing handfuls of prescription drugs every day. It might be easier to take a pill or 10 but I decided that my body deserved much better than that. I knew without a doubt there had to be a better way! I wasn’t able to change the outcome for my mom, but I could surely change my own.

Around this time I was introduced to some products that rocked my world! This stuff aligned perfectly with my needs and has made a dramatic difference in my life! I have discovered that my body CAN fix itself when given the right tools!

I used to be afraid that I would develop dementia too. It scared the hell out of me! Now I’m fearless and feel empowered to help a whole lot of people make some life altering changes in their lives. There is hope for all of us to live our best lives, no matter what our age is!
