Next, add in the collagen powder and give it a good mix. Remember, subtle as a whisper is the secret here – this magic powder blends smoothly without altering your guacamole’s beloved taste.
Add in your minced garlic and finely chopped onion, stirring it up until everything begins to look like a verdant symphony of flavors.
