\"9<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all about getting our healthy fats<\/a> in, and avocado is one of our favorite sources. That soft, buttery creaminess \u2014 it\u2019s sometimes hard to believe this decadent green fruit can actually be good for us! (In moderation, of course \u2014 just one avocado<\/a> has nearly 300 calories.) The superfood also boasts fiber, potassium (twice as much as a banana), vitamins B and E, folic acid, and anti-inflammatory properties. Which gives us all the reason to hoist a homemade chip<\/a>! Made with unexpected ingredients like sweet potato, kale and even chocolate, these guacamole recipes will make you the talk of your Cinco de Mayo fiesta.<\/p>\n

1. <\/b>Pomegranate Pistachio Guacamole
\n<\/a><\/b>Other guacamoles wish they could burst with flavor like this one. With the seeds of one full pomegranate, you\u2019ll get a tangy little surprise with every bite from the juicy arils. As an extra bonus, the high-fiber little guys pack in the vitamin C.\u00a0 Add in pistachio, and your tastebuds will be in heaven. <\/span>Photo and Recipe: Kristi \/ <\/i>BullDog Bistro<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

2. <\/b>Kale Pesto Guacamole<\/b><\/a>
\nWarning: Once you combine forces of three of the most palate-pleasing foods we know, you may never be able to go back<\/a> to plain old guacamole. Made with the mean green trifecta of kale, pesto and avocado, we challenge you to have just one serving. You won\u2019t even need chips for this bad boy that\u2019s served right in a Portobello mushroom cap. Photo and Recipe: Bev\/<\/i>Bev Cooks<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Crab<\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Crabby Good Guacamole<\/b><\/a>
\nThere\u2019s nothing to be crabby about! The savory crab and sweet avocado blend to create a divine dip.

Add in a bit of salt, and imagine yourself transported to an oceanfront deck, chips and light beer<\/a> in hand. Photo and Recipe: Morgan \/ <\/i>Host the Toast<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Chocolate-Guacamole-and-homemade-spicy-chips\"<\/p>\n

4. <\/b>Chocolate Guacamole<\/b><\/a>
\nYes, you read that correctly! If your tastebuds are in an ongoing war between savory and sweet, consider this battle won. Cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips bring an even more decadent flavor to the luscious dip. Serve it with spicy brown rice chips, and you\u2019ve got all of your major cravings covered.

\"Sweet_Potato_Guacamole\"<\/p>\n

5. <\/b>Sweet Potato Guacamole<\/b><\/a>
\nFor the green-averse, we have a trick just for you. Adding in sweet potato will lessen the avocado flavor (although we argue \u2013 why would you want to?) and provide a whopping dose of beta-carotene. Photo and Recipe: Regan \/ <\/i>Healthy Aperture<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Grapefruit<\/p>\n

7. <\/b>Grapefruit and Avocado Guacamole<\/b><\/a>
\nCitrus is often a secret star in guacamole, keeping it from turning brown, but this recipe puts puckery fruit front and center with a pink grapefruit. \u00a0Save the limes for your margarita! Photo and Recipe: Shanon \/ <\/i>The Curvy Carrot<\/i><\/a> <\/i><\/p>\n

\"bruschetta-guacamole\"<\/p>\n

9. <\/b>Guacamole Bruschetta Toast<\/b><\/a>
