Everyone was preparing for the supposed upcoming Avogeddon……… Avocado Prices are supposed to go up because of a ban we imposed on Mexico last week. The ban was already lifted, but it did bring to light some great alternative ideas to using avocados, like Zuccamole. It’s guacamole, but made with zucchini. The version they made on Good Morning America looks kind of good and not really any harder to make than regular guac. It also uses some yogurt so that you can recreate the creaminess of avocados. Outside of that, you’re just basically substituting a zucchini for the avocado. Here’s a link to the RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS.
Some other alternatives to avocados are hummus, edamame, smashed banana, butternut squash, nut butters, and even pinto beans can fill in for texture.
