Lazy Guacamole uses a fresh salsa that is already FODMAP-friendly. The ultimate shortcut is already peeled and mashed avocados. Then, add some cumin, salt, and fresh cilantro, which is the quickest low FODMAP guacamole.
Avocados are finicky, and I have this unique skill to be able to pick the worst ones. I have done all the research on how to pick the perfect avocado, and yet it still eludes me. So in the act of always making sure I have green, ripe avocados, I buy a small eight-ounce container of already peeled and mashed avocado. Works every single time. Zero avocado drama! If you want to try and see if you can make guacamole with ripe, whole avocados, give this low FODMAP guacamole a try!
Using a low FODMAP salsa is the perfect shortcut to getting a great flavor without much effort. Does it taste like Chipolte’s guac? Sadly, unfortunately, no. But as someone who adapts recipes to make them stay within my diet guidelines and taste delicious, sometimes an exact copycat is impossible. If it is delicious, I can let go of the copycat memory and enjoy a version that will not cause GI issues.
Guac Ingredients
- 8 oz of prepared avocados - guaranteed every single time to be perfect.
- Salsa - Make a batch of quick restaurant-style salsa. It is great that usually, when I want some guac, I also have salsa in my fridge. Or use your favorite jarred salsa.
- Cumin - the spice that brings it all together.
- Kosher Salt - Depending on the saltiness of the salsa, a bit of kosher salt is needed.
- Fresh Cilantro - The best fresh herb to pull everything together.

FAQs
Hass avocados, according to Monash University App says avocados are safe in 30 grams or roughly two tablespoons. However, if you know you can tolerate sorbitol, you can increase your amount. As always, listen to your gut and determine how you feel after eating avocados.
