Tips for Making High Protein Guacamole

Try these ideas from the BHG Test Kitchen when making this guacamole recipe.

• Our recipe testers like the flavor of 2% Greek yogurt here, but you could swap in whatever fat content level you like best.
• Customize this recipe with your favorite mix-ins. Try adding a few dashes of hot sauce, black beans, corn, chopped cucumber, or diced mango for more texture and flavor.
• To help control the spice level of the jalapeno pepper, remove the seeds and membrane inside the pepper. This is where a lot of the heat lives.
• There are several ways you can serve this higher-protein guacamole. Use it as a spread on sandwiches or a topping for tacos, quesadillas, and salads. If you plan to eat it as a dip, serve it with chips, mini cucumbers, jicama, plantain chips, rice cakes, or pita chips.
