Skinny Guacamole

Sounds like an oxymoron right? Believe it or not, this wonderful guacamole is only 28 calories per serving. Compare that to the typical 100 calories per serving. I love everything avocado so I knew I had to find a lower calorie version of this wonderful dip. It’s a football watching staple in many households so why not offer a lower calorie version?

Remember that not all guacamole has to be eaten with chips. I eat mine with pretty much anything I would eat with hummus. I dip all sorts of veggies in it, pita chips, crackers, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I could eat this straight, but it’s great with celery, carrots, and bell peppers. It’s also great as a replacement for mayo in sandwiches and wraps.

You have a couple of options with this. You can add in other things like red onion and tomatoes, or even leave some chunks of avocado in there. Customize it how you see fit. Avocados are high in fat, but it’s healthy fat and don’t forget that they’re also high in fiber and potassium.

Skinny Guacamole
8 servings

WW Freestyle Points: 1

• 1 avocado 
• 1 TBSP 0% Greek yogurt (I use Fage)
• 1/2 TBSP lime juice
• Grated jalapeno to taste
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• salt to taste

Add avocado to a bowl and mash with a fork. Go until it’s just a little chunkier than you like (it will smooth out with mixing). Add in the Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder and pepper. Mix to combine. Add jalapeno and salt to taste. I usually end up using quite a bit of jalapeno, but I like mine spicy. You can hold back if you like yours mild. Mix it up and start dipping!
