Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Hello Healthy Eaters!

Here is a receipe that I found on www.skinnytaste.com for Guacamole Deviled Eggs. I am a HUGE fan of Deviled Eggs but unfortunately, they are not good for me. Luckily, someone was nice enough to upload a "Cleaner" version of this dish. You will need:

6 Large Eggs
1 Medium Haas Avocado
2-3 Tsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 Tsp Red Onion (minced)
1 Tbsp Minced Jalapeno
1 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Diced Tomato
Pinch of Chile Powder (for garnish)

Directions:

-Peel the hard boiled eggs
-Cut the eggs in half horizontally and set the yolks aside
In a bowl, mash the avocado and 2 whole egg yolks, discard the rest. Mix in lime juice, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Gently fold in tomato.
-Scoop heaping spoonfuls of the guacamole into the 12 halved eggs. Sprinkle with a little chile power for color and arrange on a platter.

Servings: 12, Serving Size: 1 Piece, Calories: 44

Want a flat belly? Lose the carbs!

Hello Lovers,

So many of us want a flat stomach like Beyonce, Rihanna, Brittany Spears and other celebs. Here's a tip that is really obvious, yet we try to ignore.......IGNORE THE CARBS! I'm not saying to get rid of carbs forever, but at least for 30 to 90 days. Instead of eating a Burger with bread, try eating a Turkey Burger with Lettuce to substitute the bread. Add a little Swiss Cheese, a teaspoon of Avocado and a Tomato. You can also make Lettuce Wraps instead of using a Tortilla. Sure, there are whole wheat breads like Pita, Dinner Rolls, whole wheat Tortillas and Flat Breads but try to start by not having any at all. Also, a good exercise like crunches is another way to get those abs forming. Here is a list of carbs to avoid:

Regular Soft Drinks
Commercial Candy (Like Jellybeans & Gummies)
Pancake Syrup
Sweet Pickles, Sauces and Salad Dressings (Replace Salad Dressing with Cottage Cheese)
Flour, Cakes and Cookies
Pizza
Low Fat Crackers, Rice Cakes and Potato Chips
Dried Fruits like Apples, Prunes and Dates
Sugary Cereals
Fructose and Granulated Sugar
Potatoes (Hashbrowns and Fries)

My favorite food is Pizza.....sad!! But if I have to go without it for a while, that is a sacrifice I have to make in order to be healthy. Good Luck!!
