This high-protein guacamole combines two powerhouse ingredients—avocado and edamame—for a protein-packed dip with a creamy texture, zesty lime, and a hint of spice. Pair it with your favorite veggies or crackers and enjoy a satisfying snack that fuels your body and your taste buds! 

• 2 ripe avocados 

• 1 cup frozen edamame (thawed) 

• 1 large clove of garlic – crushed 

• 2 limes – juiced 

• 1/2 cup salsa (choose your preferred mild or medium salsa) 

• 1/2 cup cilantro – chopped 

• 2 TBSP red onion – finely diced (optional) 

• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit*, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. 

2. Mash the Avocados: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). 

3. Add the Edamame: Add the thawed edamame to the bowl and mash it lightly with the avocado for texture. 

4. Add the Flavorings: Stir in the crushed garlic, lime juice, salsa, cilantro, red onion (if using), and salt. For even more protein, add 2 TBSP of hemp hearts when mixing the flavorings in! 

5. Mix and Taste: Mix everything together, tasting to adjust seasoning if needed. If you like a bit more spice, add a little extra salsa or a dash of chili powder. 

*Keep the pit and store any leftovers with the pit in the container to keep the guacamole from turning brown. Remove the pit before eating.

Enjoy this deliciously creamy and protein-packed guacamole as a snack or appetizer that nourishes your body!
