I love avocados. They make such a healthy, satisfying snack or a perfect addition to any meal. This guacamole delivers all the benefits of avocados plus gives you a real hit of protein!
The secret ingredient—edamame beans!
Edamame is a young soybean that has been harvested before the beans have had a chance to harden. You can buy them shelled or in the pod, fresh or frozen. I buy them frozen, already shelled so I can quickly heat them up and use them in a salad, alone or in this yummy guacamole!
Edamame is high in protein, calcium and iron. A perfect addition to a plant-based diet:)
