Review and Giveaway: Wholly Guacamole

Pin It
Who doesn't love guacamole? Everyone I know does. Well, maybe not my kids. You see, guacamole is different and it's green and that's enough to keep my kids away. In the past when we have been at a restaurant, they have refused to try the guacamole. So I was excited to receive a package of different varieties of  Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa. I knew that there was bound to be something here they would like. I also knew that if I was going to get them to try this good stuff, I would have to make it pretty appealing.


Who has the time to make guacamole? With three little ones running around, not me. Wholly Guacamole allows you to have guacamole whenever you have the craving. Their products are all natural with no preservatives. You can feel good about giving it to your family. They have many varieties of guacamole such as Classic, Organic, Pico de Gallo and more. I just adore their 100 Calorie Packs. They satisfy a guac craving while allowing me to practice portion control. In my area you can find Wholly Guacamole products at Target, Safeway and Costco.

I set up a chip and dip tasting party for some of my friends and their kids. I offered different types of Wholly Guacamole and Mild and Medium Wholly Salsa. I added some shredded cheddar cheese, circle shaped tortillas, and of course chips. Let the good times begin!


Three kinds of tortilla chips.


It was a big hit with the mommies. They were excited to try all the different kinds of guacamole.


The kids liked the idea of making their own plate and choosing their chip and guacamole flavors.





We also had fun making Wholly Guacamole faces using cheese and salsa. This finally got my kids to try  guacamole and they discovered they liked it. I just wish I didn't have to have a party to get my kids to try new foods!


When our guests left, we had some leftovers. I decided to incorporate our party leftovers to make Tortilla Encrusted Guacamole and Salsa Chicken.

I had a little bit of tortilla chips left and crushed them to make crumbs to coat our chicken.


Supplies you will need: 

  • Uncooked chicken breasts
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • Beaten egg (for dipping chicken before dredging in crumbs)
  • Wholly Guacamole
  • Wholly Salsa
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Oil for frying


Dip the chicken breast in the egg and then bread using the tortilla chips.


Heat oil in pan and fry chicken, turning halfway through, until a meat thermometer says it's cooked. While still in pan, top with salsa and cheese and cover with lid so the cheese can melt. After plating, place a dallop of Wholly Guacamole on top.


Serve with a side of rice and bask in the compliments of your family!


Are you hungry yet? Well you are in luck! The good folks at Wholly Guacamole are giving away some great prizes to four lucky Mess For Less readers. Our grand prize winner will receive a cooler full of Wholly Guacamole products. Also, three readers will receive 3 coupons each for some free products. Rules and entry are below. Thanks to Wholly Guacamole for the yummy food and prizes!
