Avocado Spread with a Kick from Ashley Grimwade:

If you’re like me, you see avocados in the store, and know they have many health benefits, but you aren’t sure how you will use it in your meals:

Here is a great recipe for a yummy, healthy Avocado Spread
1 medium, ripe avocado
2/3 cup white cannellini beans- rinsed and drained
2 sprigs of cilantro
1 ½ Tbs lime juice
1 green jalapeno- sliced and chopped with seeds removed. Add less if you don’t want as much of a kick!
½ tsp green Tabasco sauce
¼ tsp salt
In a blender- combine all ingredients until smooth and creamy!
Spread on sandwiches, chips, crackers or veggies!
The best part: Only 80 calories per 3-4 tablespoon!!!
