If you love heaps of avocado or guacamole like me, then you will know on Slimming World it is pretty high synned. This fake guacamole is awesome, serve it slathered on toast and topped with a fried or poached egg or alongside some salsa with a healthy extra b choice of crispy whole wheat pita, or in a homemade syn free burger, there are so many different combinations to think of, you could even stuff a chicken breast with the some of this and a little bit of cheese. Either way you don’t have to skimp on the portion with, as this entire recipe is only 4 syns.
This recipe is gluten free, vegetarian, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

Oooh does this actually taste like avocado then?
Im not a big fan of peas, but I loved this! It was surprisingly good!
yes it is a good replacement for avocado when you want to save on the syns 🙂
I made this (with a couple of changes due to not having all ingredients in plus I added more chillies) for a taster session at a Slimming World group and they went MAD for it. Everyone loved it. Big hit.
I soemtimes make something very similar to this (without chillies) for my little daughter mixed with pasta.
Thank you thank you thank you! I loved this pea guac! I substituted the cream cheese for Quark to make it syn free and it has been an absolute life saver! I’m going to be posting a blog post about this recipe on Tuesday raving about how much I loved it! You’ll be fully credited
Can this be frozen? I’d like to make a batch, freeze small portions and use them for dips with vegetables for packed lunch. Many thanks
I personally haven’t tried freezing, but I don’t see why it wouldnt freeze ok.
I made it using mushy peas and quark it was lovely syn free on slimmingworld
