I really shouldn’t make guacamole so often, because tortilla chips (which couple magnificently with guac, of course) are just so impossible to stop eating. Tortilla chips + me = bad news bears.
But then along comes Your Vegan Mom who posted the idea of mixing mango and avocado for a dip. I used the same super-simple PC Guacamole mix as I did last time, but this time added one chopped organic mango.

Tengo hambre, amigos!! Mmmmm.

If you don’t live in Canada, go here.
Canadians are lucky enough to have access to the President’s Choice brand, which is marketed as a cheaper, more honest alternative to brand-name products, and is only found in select grocery stores. I am a hard scrutinizer of nurtitional and ingredient labels, and I’m a scientist, and I have always found PC products to be, as I said, honest about what they offer. Moreover, PC has always been insanely quick to market new, fresh, innovative low-cal vegan products that taste great and come at a fair price. For example, PC soy milk, which I started buying almost 8 years ago, is creamy, sweet, and delicious, but has only 80 cal/cup and is the cheapest one on the shelf at $3.49. And unlike other brands which rely on cheezy marketing schemes and cheap, unhealthy ingredients (like oh, I don’t know, a company that starts with K and rhymes with Braft), the good folks at PC seem genuinely interested in making wholesome products.
I came across PC Guacamole Seasoning Mix yesterday. It looks like a jar of salsa and contains all wholesome ingredients; no chemical voodoo. Just add 3 avocados to 3/4 cup mix et voila! Tastes like heaven.

Happy long weekend!
