Super Easy Guacamole
When I was younger, I wouldn't have touched guacamole with a 10-foot pole. Now, I eat it nearly every day. Sometimes I go gourmet and whip up a big bowl of Guacamole with a Little Kick. But most of the time I make this simple recipe, which takes minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 5 medium avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ - 1 teaspoon salt, according to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit (just gently squeeze till it pops out). Use a large spoon to scoop the fruit into a medium-sized bowl. Add the lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork to desired consistency.
- Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about ¼ cup)
Notes
- Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Add 1/4 cup Salsa.
- Use as a dip with fresh vegetables.
- Spread on top of Chipotle Black Bean Burgers.
- The trick to perfect guacamole is ripe avocados. Check for ripeness by gently pressing the outside of the avocado. If there is no give, the avocado is not ready yet and will not taste good. If there is a lot of give, the avocado is ripe. Beware of too much softness, though, because that usually means the avocado may be over ripe and won’t taste good.

Thank you for the site.
You’re welcome!
I am so happy I found this website. As my family and I just started the Daniel Fast. This site helps so much.
Hi, Myrna! I’m thankful the Lord led you to my website, too! I pray you are blessed by the information here. May God fill you with His power and peace as you trust in Him!
Hi Kristen, I was wondering if popcorn was allowed on the Daniel fast? I have some Skinny Pop popcorn that I love and the only ingredients are popcorn, sunflower oil and salt. I buy it in a huge bag at Sam’s.
Yes, popcorn is allowed, as long as you don’t use butter! 🙂 The plain Skinny Pop popcorn should be fine. Thanks for your question!
Are store bought tortilla chips allowed?
The only ones I’ve found that are acceptable are Baked Tostitos (http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/baked-tostitos-scoops.html).
Kristen, how about Quinoa and Black Beans tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s
Hi! Tortilla chips are allowed if they are baked and not fried. I checked out the ingredients of these chips, and they seem to “pass the test.” However, I don’t see any labeling on the package that states they are “baked.” So, I’m assuming they’re fried. Thanks for your question!
Garden of Eatin makes some pretty good chips. They’re organic and they use sea salt.

Hi kirsten I was wondering what seasonings are acceptable.
All spices and herbs can be used on the Daniel Fast to add flavor to recipes.
