Holy Moly Guacamole

This delicious recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 by Lisa Lillien, where every recipe is under 200 calories! 

What's great about this cookbook is that there are so many recipes (200) and she covers all different kinds of foods. There are options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I just love it! This recipe was super easy to follow and didn't take very long at all.

One 15-ounce can early (young) peas, drained

1/4 c. plain fat-free Greek yogurt

4 tsp. lime juice

1/2 tsp. chopped garlic

I didn't make mine with onion because I don't like raw onion, and obviously I left out the cilantro. Also, I doubled the recipe because I didn't think the original would make very much and I ended up accidentally quadrupling the amount of Greek yogurt. I only realized that I did that when I was typing up the ingredients. Oops! It still tastes really good, though.

I hope yours turns out just as delicious as mine did!
