National Guacamole Day! Giveaway!

Did you know that Sept. 16 is National Guacamole Day? I didn’t until now, but this makes it a good time to post my review of the Wholly Guacamole (and Salsa and Queso) products.

I love avocados and guacamole, so I was thrilled to try out the Eat Wholly product line. I was shipped a cooler full of Eat Wholly products – guacamole, salsa and queso. I wasn’t sure exactly what they would send, so this was a great surprise!

The first product we tried was the Classic Guacamole in the 100 calorie snack pack. The flavor was excellent, with little chunks of avocado in the dip. There was a little more onion flavor than I prefer, though. The package size was perfect—just the right amount for Emily and me to finish off in a sitting (although I could have eaten it all myself.) Since the packages, once opened, should be eaten within 3 days, I loved having a packet that was just the right size for a serving or two. The box included 6 snack packs.

This is the snack pack serving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few days later, we opened up several more of the dips and had a tasting party!

  

We tried the Classic Guacamole-everyone liked this. One of my daughters doesn’t usually eat avocados or guacamole, but she enjoyed it too. We enjoyed the Wholly Salsa (medium). It was very chunky and rather spicy—about at our limit. I think the hot variety would be too spicy for our tastes! The overall favorite was the Wholly Queso Blanco—Absolutely wonderful! The entire container was finished off in just a couple of days. I kept having to chase the kids away from it, saying, “Leave some for me!” The Wholly Queso Classic was also very good. It was very mild in flavor.

My first impression of the Spicy Guacamole was that it was way too spicy. I like a mild guacamole. But….it was strangely addictive! I found myself really enjoying it. It’s great with chips or to dollop on a green salad.

The next day for lunch, I made myself a cheese quesadilla with Wholly Salsa and Wholly Guacamole—delicious!

The Wholly products are all natural and made without preservatives. The Guacamole is made with a minimum of 90% avocado. These are definitely quality products that I will be buying more of!
