The Chillest Spicy Guacamole Ever - A Functional Superfood Recipe with Hemp CBD!
Before you say, "Guacamole? In the middle of November?" hear us out. Today, November 14th, is actually an important national holiday: National Spicy Guacamole Day! And when someone mentions a holiday related to guacamole, we don't ask questions. We just find, and then devour, alllllll the guac.
After-all, there really isn't a bad time to enjoy a bowl of fresh, homemade guacamole. The avocado is full of healthy fats to help nurture dry winter skin and stabilize blood sugar, the cilantro is a potent antioxidant and cleansing aid (did you know it's even been shown to help detox heavy metals from the body?), the lime juice offers a solid hit of immune-boosting Vitamin C, and the jalapeño ignites that internal digestive fire - a very helpful aid when eating raw foods during cold weather.
But we couldn't just leave it there. We infused this tasty recipe with a dropperful of our broad spectrum Veggimins Hemp CBD Extract. Not only does this product offer additional omega fatty acids for healthy brain function and glowing skin all winter long, it also contains a Co2 extract from specially bred hemp with a high concentration of CBD (cannabidiol), a compound which has been shown to both enhance immunity and lower inflammation. And who wouldn't sign up for that combo? While CBD won't get you high (that would be another popular cannabinoid known as THC - they are not the same!), many have reported less anxiety and a calmer nervous system while ingesting CBD over time. Like many other herbs and superfoods such as reishi mushroom, ginseng, and ashwagandha, CBD has been shown to have adaptogenic properties, meaning it may help regulate and support all systems of the body, promoting balance and resiliance.
So what are you waiting for - go grab some chips and dig in!
