Guacamole Burgers

Guacamole + ground beef makes a fun, nutritious alternative to your typical burger that's full of vitamins, minerals, and flavor

Avocados are a staple in my kitchen. They make everything better. You can literally use them whenever. Plus, they are super healthy and nutrient-dense.

Their peak season is between March and September, so you've got another month or so to pack the nutrition all-star into your meals, snacks, etc.

These burgers are creamy and beyond flavorful. I used 94/6 lean ground beef and you'd never know it wasn't the higher fat ground beef.

The avocado helps keep them moist with its beneficial fat.

Plus you definitely won't need mayo on this burger.

You can add some salsa or maybe even a few more avocado slices, but that's really all you need condiment-wise for these burgers.

If you are looking for a fun, nutritious alternative to your typical burger, then these are for you.

I mean, they'll make anyone happy who likes a good, juicy burger no matter if they are interested in its health factor or not.

These burgers are high in monounsaturated fat {thanks to the avocado}, high in protein, and have 17% Iron, 11% Magnesium, 26% Phosphorus, 20% Potassium, 41% Zinc, 10% Copper, 28% Selenium, 21% Vitamin K, 16% Riboflavin, 37% Niacin, 31% Vitamin B6, 25% Folate, 42% Vitamin B12, 16% Pantothenic Acid
