Game Day Broccamoli

Sunday's at my house are reserved for watching football while mindlessly devouring an entire bag of Tostitos scoops and onion dip...of course this is a delightful experience although sometimes it is nice to have a healthy option as well! My Game Day Broccamoli (Broccoli guacamole) is the perfect creamy delicious dip to devour guiltlessly. Made with heart healthy avocados, pureed broccoli, and tangy greek yogurt it has become a Sunday game day staple at my house. If you want to be super healthy you can serve this with veggies (as shown below) but don't be fooled, the chips were out...just not in the picture!
