Guacamole Deviled Eggs

By Fitfulfocus @fitfulfocus

Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow? When the heck did that happen? Wowza. It’s going to be summer before we know it, and I am not going to complain about that! 

Now that the #RockYourCore Challenge has come to an end, we’ll be back to our regular programming around here: aka new recipes every Monday! 

Let’s kick off May with a fun, Cinco de Mayo inspired concoction: Guacamole Deviled Eggs! 

Filled with protein and a little bit of healthy fat, ready to go in 15 minutes flat (feel free to steal my Dr. Suess rhymes. I could totally be a rapper in another life). 

It’s easy to over indulge on Cinco De Mayo – sugary margs, fatty/carb-laden taco supremes and burritos to the max. These deviled eggs are a healthier take on Mexican faves. They have the pure protein of egg whites plus the healthy fats in the guac and cayenne pepper for a metabolism spike. 

Refreshing and filling in a few bites. It’s the perfect app (especially when paired with a margarita! <— who said that?).

Have a healthier Cinco De Mayo with this simple yet delicious Guacamole Deviled Egg #recipe!
