Cut calories when making guacamole

Guacamole can add tons of calories to your snack or meal, as avocados are high in fat - even though it is a healthy food, when consumed in moderation.

Low fat guacamole

So how can you make guacamole less fattening? Easy! Try lowering the number of calories it contains by using less avocado.

Perhaps cut the quantity of avocado in half and use the same quantity of peas as a replacement. Peas are healthy for you, an excellent source of plant protein and are low in calories. You may not even notice a taste difference when using peas in the dish, but you will notice a difference in your weight over the long term.
