If you love Guacamole like I do, it must be hard to eat just a little bit of it and stop, right!? Since I started watching my calories and portions and eating in a much healthier way, I have been avoiding it. But last week, after watching an episode of “Hungry Girl” show - http://www.hungry-girl.com/ - , I want to share how to eat this Mexican healthy and cheap dish in a more “guilty free” way. Instead of 2 avocados, use just one and substitute another for a cup of canned peas. Yes, peas, with no salt added, please. You just need to blend it or use a food processor to make a green paste. The other ingredients – onion, tomatoes, lime, black pepper, cumin, cilantro or parsley - remain the same, except for the salt. If you can, use one tablespoon of Brag’s - http://bragg.com/products/bragg-liquid-aminos-soy-alternative.html -. Also add some of fat free Greek yogurt. Helps to make more volume and adds some protein to it, which is always good. Promise, you will not notice the difference in taste. I prepared this Guacamole to my husband without telling him about the “secret ingredients”. He is a regular guy, not a “health freak” or in a diet = ) and he loved it. Give it a try on top of mixed greens instead of “a hundred” chips.
