I haven't met very many people that don't like fresh guacamole. Guac is one of those crowd pleasers that's as simple as it is satisfying.

This recipe was inspired by my friend, Sarah, who shared her Yogi Guacamole in her cookbook Peas and Thank You.

Her recipe incorporated creamy white beans for additional fiber, yet still maintaining the fresh flavors we love in guacamole.

The Benefits Of Cottage Cheese

I am a huge fan of cottage cheese, I could eat it straight out of the tub, but not everyone shares the same love. If you knew the benefits maybe you would have a change of heart and sneak it in recipes like this guacamole to enjoy all it has to offer.

Cottage cheese not only is high in protein (about 13 grams per ½ cup) it has loads of other benefits like--low in calories, rich in B vitamins, good source of calcium, some contain probiotics, and it's super versatile thanks to the mild taste.

A Dip That Will fuel Your Body

This dip is a powerhouse of nutrients that will fuel and energize your body. Avocados are known for their healthy fats and high potassium, while the beans and cottage cheese offer fiber, protein, and so much more. This means you can snack with ease, fill up, and feel so good about what you're enjoying.
