What brand of mayo did you use?
Hi Carol! We love the Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise – https://hip2keto.com/hellmanns-mayonnaise-amazon-deal/
How long can you keep it refrigerated?
You can refrigerate for about 3 – 4 days, but just know that the avocado may turn a bit brown.
Could you use premade quacamole instead of fresh avocados?
Yes! That can work, however it will change the nutritional values. You’ll also need to double check the ingredients of the guacamole you choose to be sure it is keto. Hope this is helpful! 🤗
