But, as always, I tried to figure out how to make it a meal for my clients!
A while back, I saw a recipe for a guacamole made with green peas and avocados along with several spices, tomatoes, onions, etc. I LOVE guacamole but have to stay away form it because I know I will overeat. While avocados are an excellent source of healthy fats, too much is not a good thing! All guacamole is - is fat and sodium with veggies. There are worse things to eat - yes - but WHAT IF I could bring in my world famous PCH (Protein + Carb + Helathy Fat) into guacamole and make it an actual meal?
Well....I did!
Let me present: 'Mock-A-Mole' - serve it with a side of grilled chicken, brown rice crackers for dipping and some fresh bell pepper and cucumber slices for dipping - and you have a PCH meal thats a WINNER:
Ingredients:
1 avocado, peeled
1 container fresh pico, drained
