This kale guacamole is so healthy and delicious AND easy (like 5 minutes to make!). My kids LOVE to help, and this is such a great item to let them help with!

Why this Kale Guacamole is HEALTHY!

Micronutrients

Fruits and Veggies like avocado and kale are packed with micronutrients–these are more than just vitamins and minerals but powerful plant compounds that improve health!

Powerful Antioxidants

Fruit and Veggies like kale and avocado have powerful anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals and reactive oxygen species which damage cells and DNA.

Fiber

Fruits and Veggies like kale and avocado have fiber that is so important for our digestive systems! Fiber is something we can’t digest, but it helps to clean out our gut and also provides food for our microbiome!

Supports a Healthy Microbiome

Fruit and veggies like kale and avocado support a healthy microbiome. Our microbiome is all the good bacteria in our gut–it does amazing things like providing protection, helping to digest food, supporting our immune system and making neurotransmitters (and MUCH more!). The good bacteria LOVES veggies!

Healthy Fat: Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is a really healthy fat–it is low in omega-6 fatty acids which promote inflammation and has omega-3 fatty acids which lower inflammation!

Gluten Free

This easy kale guacamole contains no gluten.

Gluten is a sticky protein that can cause Leaky Gut and promotes inflammation! Too much inflammation is like lighting your body on fire!!!

How to get kids to eat this Kale Guacamole!

Puree it!

Kale can have a tough texture and can be difficult for kids to chew. Pureeing the kale will take some of the texture issues away. Also, pureed kale is harder to see, so kids may not even know they are eating veggies!

Try a lick!

Sometimes a bite is a big commitment to kids, but getting them to try a lick is manageable! This kale guacamole tastes amazing, and if they take a lick and like it, then they are more likely to take a bite!

Involve them!

This kale guacamole is a great dish to let kids help with! Mashing the avocados with a fork, adding salt or lime juice, mixing in the kale are all great activities that kids of almost any age can help with! When kids help prepare food, they are more likely to try it!

So glad I tried this! Never thought to add kale to my guacamole…but I’ll never go back. Just knowing there are more nutrients is so great and it doesn’t alter the flavor! I like adding a little dash of red pepper flakes for my hubby who likes his guac spicy!
