Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.

Yum!
I love this recipe, really tasty and quick to make. You need to pulse if you like yours chuncky. This goes great with thick sweet potato chips on the BBQ. I have also made an adaption with part pea part avocado and that is also gorgeous!

I am allergic to avocado & this is a wonderful alternative. I decrease the peas to 1-1 1/2 cups & the rest is asparagus. Frozen or canned, adjust to your taste.

Bright, colorful variation on guacamole
I love this new take on a classic guacamole. In California there is a restaurant called Jinky's and they always serve pea guacamole with huevos ranchero, which I love, and now I have the recipe! The bright green color is so great.

I love the Vitamix, but first no on the peas...period. Second thou shall not put guacamole bound avocados into a blender...period. Guacamole should ALWAYS be made with crushed avocados, ALWAYS. I like the Vitamix, I like guacamole, keep the two far apart.
