Its no secret that I'm having a love affair with guacamole of late. Avocados tend to get a bad wrap for being high in calories and fat, but if you read here, you'll also see they are full of nutrients!
I thought I'd pass along my "recipe".... I use the term recipe loosely, because I just kinda wing it.
1 mashed avocado
1/2 edamame beans whizzed in the blender
1/4 cup salsa, or chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp fat free sour cream
fresh chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
squeeze of lemon juice.
Mix all ingredients. Its THAT simple.
Calories and fat come primarily from the avocado. Adding edamame is much like adding spinach to Green Monsters, it dosn't alter the taste but ramps up the nutrients!
Delicious!
