Guacamole’s Cooler Cousin

This is an easy substitute for guacamole that’s packed with protein and fiber while ditching all the fat & calories. Serve with your favorite whole grain chip or fresh veggies or use as a spread on sandwiches instead of mayo.

This recipe was inspired by a fresh guacamole that was made at the table on a trip to San Antonio, Texas. I loved that they used fresh orange juice. It gives it a delicious, citrusy taste using lime and orange.
