SKINNY GUACAMOLE RECIPE

Looking for the best skinny guacamole recipe EVER?

A wonderful party dip, this is a slimmed down skinny version of everyone’s favorite, and with a good power blender, this lower fat and calorie guacamole is even easier to make!

It will go perfectly with any chip or “dip-able” veggie and makes the perfect healthy appetizer.

We use peas instead of more avocado to cut out fat and calories, without losing any of the flavor!

For some variation you may also try cooked broccoli or asparagus tips, or we LOVE using edamame for added protein!

If you like your skinny guacamole spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeno!

Time to get out the avocados and blend a smooth or chunky variety of a healthier gathering staple!

AVOCADO HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS 

They are often called butter pears or alligator pears, but avocados resemble pears in shape only.

The buttery smooth texture and high fat content of this fruit are unique among fruits.

This native of Central and South America has been cultivated since about 8,000 BC.

Some people avoid avocados because of their high fat content, but most of it is healthy, monounsaturated fat. Avocados have a positive effect on cholesterol, with one study showing that persons that ate an avocado a day had an average 17% decline in total cholesterol.

Also avocados are high in carotenoid lutein, which is important in maintaining healthy vision.
