Edamame Guacamole (High Protein)

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 medium ripe avocados

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tbsp)

1 cup frozen shelled edamame (thawed)

½ cup tomato (diced)

¼ cup red onion (diced)

1 large jalapeno (about 3 tbsp, seeded and finely diced)

¼ tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp chili powder

¼ cup cilantro (finely chopped)

Salt and black pepper- to taste

Directions

Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pit. Scrape the inside of the avocado with a knife and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

In a high powered blender or food processor add half of the avocado along with the lime juice and edamame beans. Pulse until a paste forms (about 1-2 minutes)- you just want to break down the edamame beans so you don’t have large chunks!

In a mortar and pestle (or in a bowl with a fork) mash the remaining avocado. Add the edamame/avocado paste and mix. Add in the remaining ingredients and adjust spices to taste.

Serve immediately with your favourite chips, crackers or veggies!
