Guest Post: Sweet Plantain Guacamole

One of my favorite things about the paleo/primal/scd community is our love and support for one another. We are all in this movement to make an impact on lives all over the world and empower people to get and stay healthy. Accomplishing that goal comes in many shapes and sizes and one of them is stepping in to provide support when someone needs it. Danielle and her family are going through a period in their lives where they get to focus on family and quality time together while they heal. We as a blogging community are here to support her and keep recipes and content coming to continue to inspire and empower others on their health journey. I am grateful that I get the opportunity to share some recipes with you knowing that are love and thoughts are supporting Danielle in healing.
