Why we love Strawberry Mango Guacamole Recipe

I love a good guacamole plus it's so good for our bodies too! However, those tortilla chips that can make it a little heavy on calories, right?!  Sometimes I buy baked tortilla chips to help that out a bit. I also love guacamole dipped with whole wheat flat bread or vegetables- yummmmmie! But, some occasions I'll be sure to go all out!  Just give me some of those delightful Tostitos "Hint of Lime"  tortilla chips and I'm likely to eat the whole darn bag! Mmmmm hmmm. Oh and the whole bowl of our Strawberry Mango Guacamole Recipe too :) Hahahaha! 

Ingredients in Strawberry Mango Guacamole Recipe

• Avocados- are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat, don't shy away! • Strawberries- Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. • Mangoes- contain high level of vitamin C, fibre and pectin making it a perfect fruit that helps in controlling high cholesterol level. Another benefit of eating mangoes is that it cleanses your skin from deep inside your body. It treats pores and gives a glow to your skin. • Red Onion- is full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They can also fight bacteria in the urinary tract. The most important of these compounds is called quercetin - an antioxidant compound that could provide protection against cancer, heart disease and allergies. • Coriander (cilantro)- is a fragrant, antioxidant-rich herb that has many culinary uses and health benefits. It may help lower your blood sugar, fight infections, and promote heart, brain, skin, and digestive health. You can easily add coriander seeds or leaves — sometimes known as cilantro — to your diet. • Limes- are a good source of magnesium and potassium, which promote heart health. Potassium can naturally lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation, which reduces your risk of a heart attack and stroke. Research is ongoing on lime compounds called limonins that may be able to reduce cholesterol levels. • Sea Salt- is mostly composed of sodium chloride, a compound that helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure in the body. Since it's minimally processed, it contains some minerals, including potassium, iron, and calcium.

Fit Friday with Nichole

 It is my birthday week! I have a few friends that go for the birthday month, but I am happy to keep it at a week. On my birthday I headed out for a rainy trail run up to a trampoline that someone decided to set up at a great overlook. This week I have also enjoyed time with family and friends, gotten a massage, and generally enjoyed life. A week full of smiles and being reminded that I am loved. It is a week where I get to do what I want to do, that includes workouts. 

This week we are doing a workout that I love, so you know it is going to include running! 

This is an AMRAP, which means you are doing as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. You have to go through this differently mentally. Pace yourself for 20 minutes and remember that every rep counts. And, of course, have fun!

Modifications:

Pull-Ups; depending on equipment you can go to a jumping pull-up, a body row, lat pull down, or bent over row.

Toe-to-Bars; if you don't have a bar just go to sit-ups. If you have a bar but getting your toes up isn't happening just go to a hanging knee raise.

Push-Ups; on your knees or on a bench
