This spirulina guacamole is a satisfying lighter guacamole recipe made with avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, spices and the superfood spirulina. It tastes like a classic guac, but with the health benefits of spirulina.

If you are looking for a way to add spirulina to your diet, guacamole is a great way to start. You won’t be able to taste the spirulina, all you’ll taste is satisfying creamy guacamole with chunks of avocado, tomato, cilantro and cumin.
