High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Paleo Everything-Spiced Guacamole Veggie Cups
Creamy, vibrant guacamole gets a serious upgrade here with a homemade everything spice blend that brings toasty sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and savory dried garlic and onion into every single bite. The whole thing is built on real, whole ingredients — ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro — with absolutely no sweeteners, syrups, or processed shortcuts hiding anywhere in the recipe. That matters more than you'd think, because store-bought guacamoles and seasoning blends are notorious for sneaking in additives you never asked for. Here, you mix the spice blend yourself, so you know exactly what's going on top. Bell pepper strips and hollowed-out cucumber rounds stand in for chips, giving you a satisfying crunch and a natural little vessel that makes every bite feel intentional and fun. It's the kind of appetizer that looks impressive on a board but comes together with minimal effort and maximum flavor. Whether you're serving a crowd or just snacking solo, these little cups are fresh, bold, and completely free of anything you're trying to avoid.
