We’ve taken a classic guacamole dish and put a spin on it by adding blueberries. Once you’ve tasted Blueberry Guacamole you will want it all the time!
Blueberry Guacamole
Blueberry season sweeps in like a fire ball and we jump on the wagon so we can eat as many as possible before the season ends! During the winter months the blueberries that are shipped in from other countries taste terrible. Perhaps it’s too long on the boat, plane or train, not really sure but nothing compares to B.C. blueberries!
So we take the opportunity to eat as many blueberries as we can once the season arrives. Fresh is best for this recipe.
The Chip Counts
A variation of tortilla chips are the best chip to enjoy with any kind of guacamole. It needs to be sturdy enough to tuck into the guacamole without breaking.
Going beyond chips you could dip veggies like carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, even bell peppers. Or go off the rails completely and dip bread sticks, pretzels, rice cakes, crackers – even pita chips.
B.C. Blueberries
Every July we eagerly await the appearance of BC Blueberries in the stores and markets. Alongside cherries, stone fruits, berries and more.
Growing up in BC, my mom used to grow all kinds of berries and vegetables plus had several fruit trees in our yard. Enjoying fresh produce like this every summer was sure a great way to grow up.
Recipe Inspiration
I’ve always said it comes from everywhere. Eating blueberries while eating guacamole is how this dip was born. Kids have also given it two thumbs up. I might try fresh cherries next.

What a great idea to add blueberries to guacamole. Definitely making again!
We had so many blueberries from the garden to use up and this recipe is perfect for that. Everyone loved it!
Someone sent me four pints of blueberries and I had four avocados, limes, and a bunch of cilantro, so I said WHY NOT! If it weren’t for the chips dipping into it, I’d tout it as extremely nourishing! And it truly is if you eat it by the spoonful!
I think cherries would be ultra yummy!
Something to try in the summer!
I guess you could dip fresh vegetables to make it extra healthy!
