Lime Goat Cheese Guacamole AKA "Chubby Guac"

So take the goodness of guacamole: healthy things like avocados and limes and onions and cilantro.  What a healthful treat!  Cool and creamy, full of "good" fats and maybe packed with some veggies.  

Ok that's great and all (and really I mean that.  Guac is GREAT) but let's add more goodness.  Like cream cheese.  And goat cheese.  Oh goat cheese, how I adore you.

  

And we shall call it "Chubby Guac."  Get it?  Because we fattened it up with various cheeses.  It's chubby now.  I know, my cleverness surprises even me.  I'm a wordsmith.  One of the greats.  

Not.  

I struggle to form coherent sentences on a daily basis and I re-write tweets more often than I care to admit.  A wordsmith I am not.  

But I digress.  There's chubby guac to be discussed.  You will find yourself devouring this dip.  Especially if you're a goat cheese fan.  Oh man.  It's got the distinctive goat cheese tang with the cool creamy blandness (and I say "bland" lovingly) of avocado.  And a punch of lime because duh.  Chubby health food.  

Here's the recipe!

• 3 avocados
• zest of one lime

Instructions

2.  With the mixer on low, add the avocados and turn the mixer back to medium high.  mix another 1-2 minutes until the avocados are fully mashed and the mixture because pale green and light and fluffy.

Enjoy!
