I never cease to be amazed by what the Vitamix can do-super efficiently!  In less than five minutes I went from two avocados, a handful of cherry tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, cayenne and a lime to this…….absolute perfection!  Creamy, but not too creamy, fresh with a little crunch and a nice kick from the cayenne.  Since I most often include beans in the majority of our meals, (I think they are the most perfect, power food ever)  I frequently find myself looking for ways to keep them interesting.  Today, I kept thinking about guacamole.  Mostly, because I find it heavenly and also because it is composed of incredibly healthy fats from the avocado which will improve the absorption of all of the micro and phyto nutrients found in the onion, cilantro, tomato, and anything else it is paired with.  Feeling out of ideas for a healthy dinner, I tried my hand, actually my Vitamix at homemade guacamole, which I have never, ever attempted before.  So, with this in mind, our busy weeknight dinner was centered around steaming bowls of black beans and sprouted brown rice, topped with shredded cheese, tomatoes, cilantro, homemade guacamole and a touch of Cholula.  Mmmmmm.   Quick and satisfying with layers of flavor, this meal made everyone happy.   Homemade guacamole is a nutritional powerhouse.  It is a gift to the palate and to the body.  And, all it takes is tossing your ingredients into the Vitamix, pulse it five or six times and voila’, gourmet guacamole!
