For the guacamole fans who want to save the syns, this Pea Guacamole is the ultimate side for all your Mexican main dishes.
If you love heaps of avocado or guacamole like me, then you will know on Slimming World it comes with a few syns. However, it is not quite as high as you might think, but if you like to save your syns for that evening treat, then you might be reluctant to use your syns on this yummy healthy ingredient.
Before I go onto the recipe, I must mention this useful little post I did about Avocado on Slimming World which covers it's syn value and also has some amazing ideas of how to incorporate it into your meals.
However if you really don't want to use syns on avocado, this Pea Guacamole is the perfect recipe for you. Serve it slathered on toast and top with a fried or poached egg or alongside some salsa with a healthy extra b choice of crispy whole wheat pita.
It is perfectly yummy in a burger too, there are so many different combinations, 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 SYN FREE, or if you do add the little bit of optional avocado for a little more creaminess, just 1 syn per serving.

Christy Marin says
Im not a big fan of peas, but I loved this! It was surprisingly good!

Lucy says
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.
Stevie says
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
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

Michelle says

Denise says
