This Clean Eating Pineapple Guacamole is a nice change from traditional guacamole because it has a slightly sweet taste from the pineapple mixed in with a little heat from the jalapeno.
But, if you want just a basic guacamole, make sure you try out my Classic Guacamole recipe which is really good too.
The great thing about homemade guacamole is not only does it cost much less to make at home, but it is super easy to make.
Guacamole is very versatile and can be used with chips, crackers, veggies, in wraps, on sandwiches, on nachos and so much more!
However you make it, just make sure you make it fresh, from real whole ingredients.
Take a look at the 22 ingredients in one of these store bought “guacamole” seasoning packets:
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) McCormick Guacamole Seasoning Mix

That’s a lot of dairy ingredients, GMO’s, processed salt and preservatives.
It’s a whole lot easier, and healthier, to just season it with a few simple and fresh ingredients like cilantro, garlic, and onions.
