CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Holy Moly Guacamole
Guac 'n Roll!
We KNOW guacamole, people. And we are POSITIVE you're gonna FLIP over
this stuff! (Pssst... we recommend dipping cut veggies and baked tortilla
chips in it!)
Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can early/young peas, drained
1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1 medium-small avocado's worth)
1/3 cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (like Fage Total 0%)
4 tsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. chili powder
Optional: chopped cilantro, chopped jarred jalapenos, additional salt and
pepper
Directions:
Place drained peas in a medium bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato
masher or fork. Add all other ingredients except for the tomatoes, onions
and optional items. Continue to mash until blended. Stir in the tomatoes,
onions and, if you like, some chopped cilantro and/or jalapenos. Season to
taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Enjoy! MAKES 6 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Guacamole, Average
Guac Shock!
Sure, avocados are good for you in moderation. And tossing a few slices on
top of your salad is a great way to get in a few grams of healthy fat. But
piling heaps of guacamole onto greasy tortilla chips is a whole different story
(a sad one that ends with ill-fitting pants!). Also, did you know that the
serving size of most store-bought guacs is a skimpy two tablespoons? Who
eats a mere two tablespoons of guacamole?! That's unrealistic (and
depressing!). As we find that serving size ridiculous, we put a way-more-
realistic serving of our version up against an equal serving of regular guac.
And check out the stats. Double-digit fat grams and 150 calories... before
you dip a single chip into it! Factor in a serving of oily chips, and you're
lookin' at around 300 calories and more than 20 fat grams (POINTS® value
7*) -- for a snack or appetizer!?! Forget it! Luckily, we've discovered an
ingenious way to cut the fat and calories in this Mexican must-have. Make a
batch of our Holy Moly Guacamole and see for yourself...
