It's time for a party. Actually, it's time for a fiesta! We're excited to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with our friends at Avocados From Mexico! With 250 million avocados enjoyed in Canada in 2015, Canadians have access to fresh avocados from Mexico throughout the year. That makes for a lot of guacamole and all sorts of other great avocado-inspired meals, snacks and drinks! With Cinco de Mayo on Thursday, May 5th, we'll get the week started off right with a #GuacIt Twitter Party! You'll be equipped with terrific avocado recipes while sharing why avocados are such a versatile and healthy fruit!
Read below to see the prizes up for grabs and don't forget to scroll all the way down to RSVP for the party so you're entered for a chance to win a prize!

In addition to the folks at Avocados From Mexico, we'll be joined by Aimee of Simple Bites and Gloria from HealthCastle who will share incredible recipes and all the amazing benefits avocados offer!

I love avocado and eat them everyday!
My son and I love avocados! We put them on everything – salads, sandwiches, crackers & eat them straight-up for snacks! Have been eating them for as long as I can remember. We also grow the avocado pits for fun.
This will be so much fun:)
