Fresh And Easy Blender Guacamole
This fresh and easy blender guacamole comes together in just 5 minutes and makes a perfect snack or party appetizer.
Looking for a quick and effortless, healthy homemade appetizer? This blender guacamole is just perfect for busy people and tastes delicious!
The more new appetizer recipes I try, the more convinced I am that Mexican style and pizza appetizers are my favorite kinds so far.
Of course I enjoy cheesy dips and potatoes as well.
Today’s recipe is not very creative or anything new .
I just love guacamole and make it at home all the time.
I even have some for dinner on days, when I feel I’ve eaten a lot during the day and would like to have a light dinner. Easy on the tortilla chips…

How to make Guacamole In A Blender?
Don’t know if it is just me…, but guacamole looks a lot fresher, when made in a blender.
But it isn’t as chunkier as if you just mash it by hand.
I like making my guacamole with red onions, whenever possible, because of their mild flavor.
Directions:
-
Add lime juice, onion, garlic, jalapeno and salt to the jar of your blender and pulse at least 3 times.
-
Add remaining ingredients and pulse 8-10 times.
-
Serve immediately.

I recently made a very simple Nachos Appetizer With Chipotle {Copycat Recipe} Marinated Chicken, homemade blender guacamole and homemade salsa, so I thought that sharing these recipes this week will be just in time for Game Sunday.
Making guacamole very often, I’ve tested quite a few recipes and this one is my favorite so far.
Guacamole Recipe
I love making it in my blender, because I’ve noticed that avocado remains green for a longer period of time.
Because even if you squeeze a lot of lime juice on top of guacamole, avocado still turns brown pretty quickly.
How long in advance can you make guacamole?
It is best to consume it right away. Or spray some lime juice on top to cover the surface of the guacamole, and tightly cover the top with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Guacamole add-ins and toppings:
I used to add tomatoes to my guacamole, but recently stopped doing so.
This way it reminds me of Chipotle’s guacamole, which is one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food.
Optional Guacamole Toppings (add-ins):
- tomatoes
- corn
- bacon
- chopped onions
- fried onions
- pomegranate arils
How to make guacamole spicy?
This version of the popular appetizer isn’t too spicy, because I only use about 1/2 jalapeño pepper, but feel free to add more or omit is if you don’t like it too hot.
Easy Guacamole
Guacamole without a blender:
This is a blender version of the recipe, but it could easily be made without a blender.
Just mash your avocados with a fork and chop onion, garlic and cilantro.
Then mix everything together.

I love guacamole too. If there is a way to keep it from browning so quickly I am all for it. Will have to give this blender version a try.
I hope you like it!
I love the idea of making guac in a blender, I make it all the time but have never thought to try making it in a blender before. What a great idea!! SO easy too. I’m seeing lots of unhealthy recipes all over the net, but honestly, don’t think the super bowl is worth the calories. I don’t mind calories when they’re super healthy like this great guac dip. Pretty color. And just the fact that it’s close to Chipotle…..yay!
Thanks a lot as always Laura! I really love Chipotle and their guacamole and this one is pretty similar! And yes, the Super Bowl isn’t worth all the calories for sure. I would prefer to eat a healthier appetizer but also get a some dessert instead of a hight calorie appetizer 🙂
Love! I really like guacamole, and your pictures looks so wonderful.
I have never made it in the blender before, so will definitely try doing that. Makes it so simple, and I love simple recipes!
Thank you!!!
This looks great, Mira! We love guacamole in our house, too…and have had it for dinner on more than one occasion as well! Great appetizer for the Super Bowl! And the idea of using a blender is a brilliant one! Pinned!
I love guacamole and making it in the blender is such a great idea! It looks so fresh and delicious! Love the photos too, Mira – I could totally eat this by the spoonful!
I love the idea of making blender guacamole, Mira! I’ve made blender salsa before, so now I definitely need to try this. I love how creamy this is. So perfect for snackin’ while watching the Super Bowl. Pinned!
This makes me want to whip up a batch in my blender right now, and it’s only 7 something in the morning! I’ve never made guac in the blender, I’ll have to try it.
Wow – your photos are stunning – I so badly want some gaucamole NOW – with a side of coffee!
I make gauc often – but never in a blender and never with jalapeno – such great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!!
That’s a perfect dinner in my book, Mira! I love the color, too. So vibrant! And pretty much awesome any time of day, any time of year!
OMG you are kiliin me with this fresh guac Mira!! I could eat guac every day of the week and this looks delicious. Hand me a spoon!! 🙂
Guacamole is just the ultimate dip, isn’t it. I really like dipping cucumber in it when I am trying to be healthier.

Mira, ok, I make guacamole like all the time . . and I’ve never made it in a blender!!! can you believe that?! totally going to try this recipe! love this! cant watch the super bowl without some guac!!!

yum! I’ve never made guacamole in a blender before, but what a great idea!
Yum, I love guacamole but never thought of making it in a blender! That’s a fantastic idea Mira and I will try it soon! Pinned
We are guacamole fiends in our house and make it a point to have it on hand regularly. I’ve never actually made it in the blender but your observation that it keeps the avocados looking greener, longer has me reconsidering how I usually make it. Asante sana for the tip.
I totally agree with you, Mira! Mexican-style appetizers are definitely my favorite. I don’t know what it is, but those apps just scream PARTY! Preparing this guacamole in the blender is such a fantastic idea – I never thought to do that – talk about a time saver! And omg, look at how creamy that guac is!!!
I never thought to make guac in a blender. How clever! Great tip Mira!
I love the color! I’m with you on Chipotle and I love their guac as well. This looks identical 🙂
This looks great and it’s fueling my serious guac cravings right now! love how easy it is, too 🙂
I am such a sucker for guacamole. Great idea to use a blender Mira.
I often make gaucamole.. but never have made it in a blender before. Thanks for the idea!
Great recipe!! My husband is a sucker for dips.. I have been trying to make more recently! – www.domesticgeekgirl.com
I adore guacamole! And I’ve been in a guacamole phase lately… But I have never made it with a blender! Need to try it ASAP! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
I never made guac in a blender before, but I will try it now! The guac in the picture looks amazing and so creamy. I have 2 avocado just got ripe and will try out this one tonight! 🙂
So glad to see a light (on calories not flavor) appetizer, Mira, because there’s so much junk food floating around the Interweb right now. I need more of this in my life! I’ve not made guac in a blender before so I’m excited to try your technique! Thanks Mira! Oh, really appreciate the purple onions too… they’re delicious and colorful!
Thanks Traci! I totally agree on the junk food on the web! Just can’t afford it! specially what I can make something as easy and healthy as this one 🙂
The title of this dish should be THE PERFECT GUACAMOLE RECIPE. Seriously. In the blender? That’s brilliant. And the photos are beautiful as always. I had to pin before I even read the recipe!
Thanks so much Meagan! I agree, it is so easy to make 🙂
This was such a HUGE hit at our Super Bowl party! It was literally gone in before the 1st quarter ended! This is definitely going to be my go-to party dip from now on… except next time I’ll double or triple the recipe 😉
Great for hand held blender. Enjoyed this!
