Guacamole and Homemade Tortilla Chips

Today I made this really awesome guacamole called "Guacamole Pomango". It was sooo good I could not help but overeat on it. I made some home-made tortilla chips to go with the recipe, and both were delicious.

The Guacamole Pomango recipe calls for the usual guacamole ingredients except for tomatoes. Then, it calls for pomegranate seeds and a mango to add some sweetness. So its like a sweet and sour guacamole, which I really like.

My Substitutions:

  • I could not find a the pepper that the recipe calls for, and so I substituted half of a jalapeño pepper. (I do not like things too spicy).
  • And because I love cilantro I added a bit  more than what the recipe called for. 
  • I bought the mango, and it looked like it was of a good quality; but when I peeled it, it had these dark spots on the inside, and so I discarded it. I did not feel like returning to the store to get another one, and so I made it without the mango. :( Despite of that, the recipe was still great.

You can find the recipe for free here.

My Diet:

  • For breakfast I had my 2 apples, with sea salt sprinkled on top of the slices. 
  • For lunch I had 2 bananas.
  • And for supper....need I explain? (I did not eat all the chips or guacamole, but I had plenty).
  • For my drinks today, I had a few superfood smoothies made with raw cacao, maca and acai powder. I also had a few cups of lemon water.
