Creamy Avocado Dip Recipe

I found this delicious recipe on a website called HASfit. They have a bunch of free workout and healthy recipes to keep you on track. I made this recipe and served it with celery and chips. It is very good! The flavor is nice and you won't feel that you're missing out.

Here's the link: http://hasfit.com/healthy-recipe/snacks/greek-yogurt-dip/

And here's the recipe ( I just used my immersion blender to mix it all and it worked very well without a lot of cleanup)



6 oz non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 medium ripe avocado
½ tsp garlic powder or 1 minced clove of garlic
¼ tsp cumin
Juice of half a lime
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
¼ tsp pepper to taste
1 to 2 pinches of sea salt

In a food processor or a high powered blender add the avocado and blend for 10 seconds to break up the avocado. Now add the yogurt, garlic, cumin, lime juice and cilantro and blend for 30 to 45 seconds. Be sure to scrape down the sides of your blender or processor to ensure all the ingredients are getting blended. Add the salt and pepper to your desired taste and blend a little more. If you’re entertaining, spoon the dip back into the skins of the avocado and serve immediately. This dip will hold up well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
