Avocados are high in fiber, rich in vitamin B, E and K and have 60 percent more potassium than bananas. I prefer Haas to other varieties. Guacamole is great with tortilla chips, baked plantain chips, chicken fajitas, or even on a wrap in place of mayonnaise. You can also add diced tomatoes but this is how I like mine best.

Fat: 13.3 g • Fiber: 6.1 g • Carbs: 8.8 g • Protein: 1.8 g
- 3 medium hass avocados, halved
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/3 cup red onion, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- kosher salt and fresh pepper
If you are serving this at a later time, a great tip to keep the guacamole from turning brown is by placing the pit in the bowl with the guacamole and cover.
this is exactly how i make it!!! SO YUMMY!!!!
ReplyDeleteGuac is one of my fave snacks! I usually mince a couple cloves of garlic and a shallot, and let them sit in a tiny bit of olive oil for a few...then mix in the avos, tomatoes, and a small diced jalapeno. Yum! Then I add the lime and salt. Better than a restaurant! Love your blog and your recipes!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a guac fan - this is terrific! I wonder how it would affect the points to add roasted red pepper and corn to this?
ReplyDeleteI just found this website and I'm so excited! I've been wanting to find more blogs that are WW friendly!

I am a freak when it comes to eating Avocados, I absolutely love them. So I know I would love this. Thanks Gina.
ReplyDeletemmm, we made this last night!! we LOVE it!! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great way to keep from turning brown- place a piece of plastic wrap or even a baggie on top of the guacamole,sealing the edges. It will keep for almost a week or more this way. Thanks for the recipe! That's how I make mine too. Sometimes I add some salsa if in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteThanks K2!
ReplyDeleteHow much is a serving size? On a lot of these recipes it says the pts but then not how much will equal that many pts. New to this site but think that I am gonna like it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is DELICIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and it's delicious! I just wanted to point out though that I think you have the points wrong. 3 avocados = 30 points, so one sixth of that is definitely not 3 points. (None of the other ingredients add points.) I might be missing something, but I just wanted to let you know.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, 3 points per serving are correct. Haas avocados are smaller than the other avocados, perhaps you are thinking of the larger ones. I've added the calories, fat and fiber to this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI was going to question the points as well - my book (Momentum) says 1/4, 60 gm (2 oz)of medium, avocado is 2 pts - doesn't mention a type but hass are the only kind you can get around here. So 1/6th would be 4 points - how do I decide?
ReplyDeleteIf you look up the calories, fat and fiber for a medium size hass, you can figure out the points that way.
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, I absolutely love your blog! I was wondering if you can tell me about how much 1/6 is? Is it like 2 tbs? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old recipe, but I second the PP about serving size. Does anyone have an idea how much that is?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this recipe! I just made this and my husband who claims to hate guacamole can't keep his hands off it. Thank you!
