5-MINUTE GUAC
Prep Time: 5 min - Serves 6
Per Serving (1/4 cup): Calories 171; Protein 2g; Total Carbs 11g; Fiber 7g; Fat 14g

INGREDIENTS:
3 large avocados, peeled & pitted
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Taste and add salt or additional lime juice to get the flavor you prefer.
3. While this is best enjoyed immediately, if you store it, find an airtight container and keep one or two avocado pits in there as well. The pits can help prevent further oxidation from occurring. Store in fridge for up to 3 days.

COCONUT KETTLE CORN
Prep Time: 5 min - Cook Time: 10 min - Serves 6
Per Serving (1 cup): Calories 61; Protein 1g; Total Carbs 9g; Fiber 1g; Fat 3g

INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp coconut oil*
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 tbsp honey
Ground cinnamon
Salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a wide saucepan with a tight fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, test the temperature by dropping in 2 or 3 popcorn kernels. Wait for the kernels to pop. Once they've popped, you can add the remaining kernels. Cover with a lid and let the magic happen.
2. The kernels will pop for 3 to 4 minutes. Once the popping stops, remove the pan from the heat.
3. While the popcorn is still hot, add the honey, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to combine.
*Tastes great WITHOUT the oil. So if you air-pop the kernels, leave it out for less fat and calories! 27 less calories, that is!
