Guac Shock!! Guacamole Recipe from HG....

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 an d calories in this Mexican must-have. Make a batch of our Holy Moly Guacamole and see for yourself...

Holy Moly Guacamole!!
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

HG Alternative! This stuff is a great spread for sandwiches, pitas and wraps -- and it's an excellent omelette topper. Two tablespoons of it has just 29 calories and 1g fat, plus 1.25g fiber (POINTS® value 0*)!
