Kale Guacamole is the perfect way to sneak in some healthy dark leafy greens.
Kale Guacamole - a healthy and easy recipe, perfect for Super Bowl!

Recently, I sampled some kale guacamole at a local market and was surprised by how much I liked it. I’m a big fan of kale but I have to admit I was skeptical about mixing kale in with guacamole. The key to is to chop up the kale really fine so it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t detract from the creaminess of the guacamole. I used the food processor and pulsed the kale until it was finely minced.

My son enjoyed this Kale Guacamole for an afternoon snack, and I even used it as a spread on his breakfast egg sandwich. Love it whenever I come up with a new way to get my kids to eat kale ;).

    I would have never thought to do this. I love how intensely green it is. And me too about kids and kale, that always makes me happy.

    I never would have thought to mix kale into avocado, but am loving the idea. It’s such a great way to work in more greens, while also having the excuse to eat more guacamole!
