Guacamole is snacking perfection. Unfortunately—if you haven’t noticed—avocado prices are still sky-high, turning the delicious dip into something that feels like it should be reserved for special occasions. The good news is you don’t need avocados to get to make something as good as guacamole—not when mockamole is an option.
Mockamole basically has the same vibe as guacamole, just without avocados. It’s still creamy with just the right amount of chunkiness to be scooped up by tortilla chips, but it’s made with other healthy ingredients that won’t break the bank. In fact, there’s a good chance you’ve already had it without even realizing it: Some restaurants whip up a faux guacamole when the costs get too high—usually without telling customers. (Not cool.)
Even though it might not seem like anything could possibly replace avocados, these mockamole recipes are completely worthy of your attention.
5 mockamole recipes that are cheaper, easier, and just as healthy as guac
1. Broccomole
Broccoli doesn’t seem like it would make the best guac base, but this recipe proves otherwise.
2. Smashed pea guacamole
This pea spread isn’t just a great avocado replacement on toast. It’s also perfect for snacking.
3. Edamole
This green dip swaps avocados for edamame for the high-protein combo of your dreams.
4. Asparagus and pea guacamole
Blending asparagus and peas together creates a ridiculously creamy avocado-free guac. Who knew?
5. Mexican squash mockamole
The secret ingredient some restaurants use to replace avocados in guacamole? Mexican squash, which is kind of like zucchini.
