My Vegan 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 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 using just a food processor or even mixing it by hand!
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, with real whole food ingredients.
Making this recipe takes only minutes and it's raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, oil-free, paleo-friendly and Medical Medium® Compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! If you make it from scratch it is a healthy recipe made with fresh, real food ingredients.
For example, take a look at the ingredient list in a popular store-bought "guacamole" seasoning packet:
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) McCormick Guacamole Seasoning Mix
Ingredients: Maltodextrin, Salt, Onions, Non-Fat Dry Milk, Modified Tapioca Starch, Red Bell Peppers, Sour Cream Solids (Cream, Non-Fat Dry Milk, Cultures), Garlic, Corn Syrup Solids, Lemon Juice Solids, Parsley, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid and Natural Flavors
It contains dairy ingredients, GMO's, refined salt and preservatives.
It's a whole lot easier, and healthier, to just season your guacamole with a few simple and fresh ingredients like cilantro, garlic, and onions.
If you happen to have guacamole leftover, you can store it in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
You would also need to add approximately 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice to keep the avocados from turning brown.
Just stir in the lime juice before storing.
Yes! You can make it without a food processor.
The texture of the guacamole will be a little different, but it will taste the same.
1. Food Processor: Smooth and creamy
2. Mix By Hand: Slightly chunky with visible pieces of onion, cilantro, and jalapenos.
I used a food processor because I added ½ cup of pineapples to the avocados in addition to ½ cup mixed in by hand. Doing it this way, the pineapples that are blended in with the avocados gave it a pineapple flavor then you also have pineapple chunks mixed in.
If you'd like to make it without a food processor, add the avocados to a large mixing bowl and mash them together until they have a creamy texture.
Skip adding the ½ cup of pineapples in Step 2 and instead of adding ½ cup of diced pineapples in Step 3, add 1 cup. This way you will still have a total of 1 cup of diced pineapples in the recipe.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
Karielyn's Expert Tips + Substitutions
Avocados: Ripe avocados will work best. Try to buy avocados that are firm to the touch, are dark/purple black in color, and have a green spot under the stem.
Pineapple: Fresh is best, but if you don't have fresh pineapple available, you can use canned organic pineapple in a BPA-free can. Just make sure to drain the liquid from the can before adding in the pineapples.
Jalapenos: I like to add these for a little spicy flavor, but you can adjust the amount or even omit them if you prefer.
Garlic: Fresh garlic is best, but you could substitute with organic ground garlic powder.
Red Onion: I like to use red onions in this recipe, but you could use any other variety.
Cilantro: If you don't like cilantro, you can omit it.
Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, feel free to use sea salt instead.
