Juice06870 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 My wife just brought home a great find from Coscto last week. It's called Wholly Guacamole Minis. It's a box of about 16 or 20 individually packaged 2 oz containers of organic guacamole. The ingredients are pretty straightforward: organic avocado, organic dehydrated onion, organic white vinegar, salt, organic granulated salt. Unfortunately I do not know what the price was, but I am sure it has to be comparable or cheaper then buying fresh avocados. I would not recommend completely substituting fresh avocados for this, but it's certainly a great and convenient way to get some fat with every meal. I have been taking one along with lunch after day at work. And then I can avoid the problem of what to do with the other half of an avocado if I cut it open to eat half of it. I like that since it's prepackaged, it should last a little longer in the fridge then a larger container of guac, and than fresh avocados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakitty Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks for the great tip! I can't wait to get some! When I am using only 1/2 an avocado, I wrap the unused portion in Saran Wrap and stick it in the fridge. The saved half an avocado may look sort of ugly (brownish) the next day, but is still quite tasty. Though it probably helps to note that I prefer my avocados to be more mushy than firm.

DurhamDoesPaleo Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I am LIVING on Wholly Guacamole. Okay, not exactly true. One serving a day, I promise. Today with baby carrots. Yesterday as a sub for mayo in my tuna salad! Trader Joe's also has a compliant guac called "Avocado's Special Number" that's sold as "party trays" (about 3 servings) that I use at home, but like the fruit itself, goes brown after a day. I have to transfer it to a tupperware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Those Wholly Guacamole packets make great salad dressing. Just in case you needed other ways of using them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann@HowcrossCastle Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Found the box of six individual Wholly Guacamole Minis at my regular grocery store tonight (Harris Teeter, for those of you in the southeast USA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've been wanting to try these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The best way to keep a fresh avocado from going brown is to wrap it in wet paper towel before the saran wrap, Works fantastic and lasts for days as long as you keep the paper damp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Good tip, Chez. I've always left pit in and placed it face down in a flat saucer of real lemon or lime juice, it keeps that way, too. Put in a snack zippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some because of your tip. I also like the idea of using one for a salad dressing. I'll do that today. You can take it in your purse. Thanks a million.

85MotherOf4AK Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I added to my tuna with onions, pickles, homemade mayo and spices. Scoop with red bell peppers! Absolutely amazing twist on tuna! I didn't even share! Don't tell my kids, they love Tuna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_rachel Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I use it to make egg salad. Delish with a little green onion on a lettuce wrap! It also freezes wonderfully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
