Protein Packed Mockamole
Ah, guacamole. How we love you. Frankly, we’re not sure we can be friends with anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of guac, we’ll pretty much slather it on anything. We were keen to whip up a version that didn’t rely on avocados (seeing as those jolly green beauties aren’t _strictly speaking _vegan-friendly...ask the bees) and the obvious sub-in were, wait for it, PEAS. Delicious, packed full of protein and, obviously, green which suits our aesthetic expectations of guac. Try it, it might just change your life (or at least your dinner). If you're looking for delicious vegan dip ideas or some veggie food party recipes, the BOSH! Mockamole is a sure fire way to impress your guests!
