[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never put peas in guacamole.  The benefit of guacamole is that it's low carb, high fiber, and good healthy fats.  Peas are carbs and sugar.

Didn't the 80s/90s teach us that replacing the dreaded fats with sugar alcohol isn't actually healthier, even if it means fewer calories?[/quote]

Didn't take long for the peas are basically candy brigade to show up  :lol: [/quote]

They don't have to be candy to be a stupid thing to add to guacamole.  You're taking something high calorie, high fat, but low carb, and erasing the low carb aspect to make it taste worse.  This is the Food forum.[/quote]

Changing the taste of guac is one thing, but complaining about vegetable "carbs" is next level stupidity. If you're concerned about carbs from peas, you probably have an eating disorder. At best, a completely unhealthy relationship with food.

OP is asking because she wants to make it lower calorie.  If you can't understand that guacamole is not ever going to be low calorie, but if you're worried about your weight it does have something going for it diet-wise that this change would obviate, than you're simply not following the thread.

Guacamole is calorically dense by definition.  Adding peas will not make it low calorie, but it does destroy the low carb aspect.  I would never add peas or zucchini or tofu to my guac because I have dignity, but I can add to a thread where a person says they want to doctor their guac [i]for diet purposes [/i]by pointing out that the suggestions are counterproductive in addition to being gross.[/quote]
