Hi Friends!
If you follow me on Instagram (theleangreenbean), Twitter or Facebook then you may already know what’s coming today! Another dip recipe. Last night my hubby officially declared me the “dip expert”. He says between this dip and the Spicy Feta Dip I made last month, I have mastered the dip.
So I’ve got that going for me.
Today’s dip is guacamole. But not just any guacamole. This is PUMPED UP GUAC!! It has black beans, greek yogurt and all sorts of other fun mix-ins! It’s packed with fiber, protein and healthy fats. Doesn’t get any better than that my friends!
I made this recipe last summer (almost exactly a year ago, in fact) and haven’t made it since. Last weekend, I realized I had several ripe avocados and I decided to whip up another batch!
I’ve updated the recipe a bit so it’s reposted below:
PrintBlack Bean Guacamole
This isn’t your mother’s guacamole recipe. With a ton of fun mix-ins, this guac is packed with flavor and nutrition.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- 1 c black beans, cooked
- 1/3 c plain Greek yogurt
- juice from one lemon
- 1/2 c red onion, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
Instructions
- Place the black beans in a small food processor and pulse several times.
- Add one of the avocados and the lemon juice and pulse until well mixed.
- In a small bowl, smash the remaining avocado with a fork.
- Stir in the greek yogurt.

So there you have it! It gets even better if you let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.

Yum! I never thought guacamole could get any better but I think you just did it!
Amazing! Pinned and Tweeted! I love me some GUAC!
This sounds like a perfect Summer dip. Love guacamole!
Love the extra kick of protein! I have a ripe avocado at home just waiting to be guacamol-ied.
I love anything and everything with avocado so this is def a winner for me!!
I was excited for this one! Love the idea of using Greek yogurt to lighten up dips. This would be sooo good on the homemeade ancho bean burger I have for lunch. Do you deliver? 😉
This sounds perfect – no more debating over making black bean dip or guac! 🙂
I love anything with avocado in it, ANYTHING! This looks awesome!
Omg yum!!! I am obsessed with avocados recently.
this looks so yummy!!
Check out the Tropical Green Smoothie I posted yesterday – I think you would like it!!
that looks SO GOOD!! WANT!!
woop! thank goodness i just bought a bag of 6 avocados at costco! 🙂 making this TONIGHT!
This looks fantastic! I’ve been totally craving some good guac and in my opinion, black beans just make everything better 🙂
This is such a great idea! I can’t wait to make a big batch, portion it out into tupperwears, and bring it to school with me. It is so simple & portable.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum! I love the added black beans for some protein. A+ dip!!
Chobani mixed in? GENIUS!! (I think I say this about ALL of your recipes!! haha)
YUM! i love guac! i can never seem to pull myself away from the guacamole bowl and chips…
Nummers! Avocado AND cho? Oh the creamy goodness. Can’t believe it has black beans and is still so GREEN!
I am going to the store and buying avocados and making this asap! 🙂 For real.
Love love love guacamole! And salsa! I just made both this weekend, in an attempt to recreate Chipotle at home (and hopefully save us a little money! 😉 )!
I love variations of salsa! Black bean, roasted corn, fresh cilantro. Yum! All about eating fresh things in summer.
I love guac – so this will be a neat way to change it up!
That looks like perfection. I don’t think anything goes better together than black beans and guac. I actually just had a wrap with both for lunch. That in dip form can’t go wrong.
That looks delicious! It’s more than a dip, it’s a complete meal! I’d have been afraid that the black beans would make it look not so pretty :-), but it doesn’t. That
Wow, this looks so good!
YUM! I LOVE guac!! I can never get enough!!
love the black beans addition!
I love simple ADD INS!!!
Black beans and guac are two of my favorite things in life so I bet I’d looove this! Pinned it! 🙂
This looks great! I love guacamole and adding black beans sounds even better!
Thanks for the excellent share. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Guacamole, especially in the summer and especially with a cold beer.
Yes yes yes. Totally making a batch this weekend!
Lovely recipe! I have eaten about 4 avocados in a week. Oopsy. I can’t stop eating them they are too dang delicious.
Am I the only person that doesn’t like black beans? I LOVE guac, though. Can you taste the beans in this?
Not in my opinion. I feel like the jalapeño and cilantro are what you taste most!
Awesome! I’ll have to try it then! I could always use a little more protein and fiber in my life!
me too! this is the perfect solution!
I’ve never thought of ‘mixing up’ my guac, but now that I have seen this I have to give it a try! This looks so delicious (and healthy), perfect for snacking on the deck this summer!
thanks 🙂
exactly!!! pack all that nutrition in, but still enjoy it!
Ummm…you just became my new best friend…this is literally a bowl of pretty much my favorite things…
Cheers
