I am obsessed with this stuff.
I bought it at Costco at the beginning of this week and have been eating the same meal every day! It is all natural and only contains a handful of ingredients: avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, salt, and garlic. Want a quick meal idea that’s vegetarian and high in PROTEIN???
- Get a can of black beans and saute the beans in a pan with SALSA (I didn’t use any oil – no reason, just that the salsa was enough!)
- Place beans on a bed of lettuce (I used a mixed lettuce that had shredded carrots in it)
- Top with guacamole, GREEK YOGURT (more protein!) and salsa (you can use soy yogurt too, Emily!)
This is like a healthified taco salad. I think it would probably taste really awesome on some rice as well. It would be like a burrito minus the tortilla! You can add whatever you like to it – corn, hot sauce, peppers, onions!
Seriously, party in my mouth.
Worked wonders after today’s workout: 1 mile warm-up, Stephanie’s leg workout, 1 mile cool down. I have FitBox tonight too!!! Can’t wait to be reunited with BOB!
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to enter my Aspaeris giveaway! If you haven’t entered yet, GO GO GO!!!

Blogger meet up!??????? 
Now wouldn’t that be awesome! Love this salad idea 
What a great idea 
Black beans are my all time favourite bean 
I usually don’t actually make “guacamole” but I mash up avocado on toast
Best snacky ever 
I did the chest/triceps workout posted on my blog
It was a gooder.
Yes! I’m from Toronto so we aren’t too far! Blogger meet-up is quite possible!
Totally try this salad. High in protein to fuel your amazing workouts!
Yum!!! Love guac on taco salads!! So yummy…I make a similar type of salad sometimes with mango salsa…so yummy!!
I’ve never tried mango salsa! YUM!
I love taco salads. I cut up corn tortillas and toast them to make chips to scoop up all the salsa and greek yogurt, and it’s delicious!
Mmmm! I’m going to try making those next time!
I <3 guac. SO good.
Guacamole is one of my favorite things on this earth. SOOOO GOOD.
i love guar with ANYTHING!!!
and by guar i mean guac
Hahaha I love GUAR too! So good!
That looks fantastic! So easy! I make a similar “taco salad” where I saute mushrooms, peppers, and whatever veggies I have as well, and it’s delish. Have you tried that brand of salsa from Costco? I could put guacamole on an old shoe and it would taste delicious.
No but I’ve seen it online! I’m going to try it next time if it’s there
Hey, that looks wonderful. I looooove guac.
Tell Bob hi from me!
Instead of saying hi, I punched him in the face
OMG GIRL!! THIS LOOKS HEAVENLY! i am going to cosco this weekend and picking up that stuff and making that meal ASAP! for real i just printed out the lil recipe and i am SO EXCITED!! love youu<3
I thought about you and our protein goals while making it. It’s so easy and delicious. Let me know if you try it!
Love avocado on anything including soup. Do you eat avocados all by themselves? I often do but everyone tells me it is not normal.
I eat them mostly in other foods but I don’t think it’s weird at all! I know a lot of people that just scoop it out and eat it as is!
I love you’re blog….xoxxooxoxo
Aww I love your blog too!!!
I have never found a decent prepared guacamole at the store… I shall scout this out immediately! thanks for the tip!
I thought it was worth a try and was pleasantly surprised! Especially after reading such a simple ingredient list! Let me know if you try it!
I LOVE guacamole on sandwiches, eggs, wraps, you name it. I could it alone. I’ve never met a guac I didn’t love.
I don’t know this brand! I must go to Costco this weekend and find it…..
xo
Sarah
Get Up & Go
I know, right?!?! Best condiment ever! Let me know if you find it
I love guac! and I am crossing my fingers that I win those compression shorts
I hope you hear back from the race organizer soon
I hope I hear from him too! I’m actually going to the Canada Running Series office tomorrow so I’m going to ask them what’s up. Maybe even beg them!
hahaha I hope it goes well. I’m really scared about how huge the race is
BRILLIANT! You my friend are an easy/healthy meal genius! I love all those things! (Everything you just said, is MY favourite thing to do, every day! -Nacho Libre)
Oh, I am so trying this.
Speaking “Nacho”…guac + nachos = mmmm. You need to try it. I am so lazy in the kitchen so this is about the best I can do on most days! Healthy, protein-packed and delicious! Let me know if you try it!
I am not a huge fan of guac, but when I do eat it, always with tocas or salsa. Workout today, 55 min cycle/elliptical with some weights!
Nice workout! Guac on tacos is amazing!
HAHA…that is the biggest shot of guac i’ve ever seen! glad to see u were able to put it to good use and do some major damage.
that said, black beans also rule and i don’t care who else i have to share the room with…hehe. workout today was a REALLY bum-slow run…haha. but i’ll take it, i was a bit beat after my tempo yesterday.
I know…black beans are the best! Your bum-slow runs are probably my fast runs! No complaining!! You are a machine!
I’ll need to check this out. I’m pretty bad at stomaching pre-mixed dips but I go love anything with avocados!
I’m not a fan of pre-mixed anything but this passed the test!
Yum, yum, yum! I love guac with absolutely anything. So good.
Absolutely getting my brother to take me to Costco with his card and absolutely making this! I’ve had taco salad a few times this week already and I seriously can’t get enough…
Have you tried their Hummus? Its wonderful!
Nice dinner idea, delicious and simple AND quick. I may just have to steal this one for dinner tonight
Yum! I could seriously eat that for breakfast right now. Those are all of my favorites! I am obsessed with gauc….like it is a problem maybe. ha ha!
Freaking love you girl! Have the best weekend ever.
i can eat guacamole all day everyday! i love it. have you ever tried dipping carrots in guacamole?? so gooooood
OOh gosh I need to try this ASAP.
I may try it this weekend and I’ll prob add some corn to it as well. Thanks for the fab idea!
Yum, I’ve been on a major taco salad kick also!
Yum!
Sometimes there is nothing better than a taco salad! My workout today was about 14 miles biked and abs!
Yum! I love guacamole and all mexican food, that looks super yummy! Have you ever tried Wholly Guacamole..you can find it at Harris Teeter, it’s pretty good too!
GAH that just gave me a serious guac-craving!
Ah so many wonderful things in this salad! I love guacamole and I LOVE using greek yogurt in the place of sour cream. Looks delicious.
I will have to see if my Costco has that guacamole! That salad looks amazing!!
