Broccomole: Broccoli Guacamole

10.10.2012 Jackie Dodd-Mallory (Senior Editor) 145 Comments

It’s broccoli guacamole. You’re skeptical, I can tell. But this is really great, and with a creaminess that was slightly shocking, I will be making this again.

And, if you set a serving size at an ounce, as Livestrong is telling me to do, it’s only 22 calories a serving. And only about 250 calories if I eat the entire bowl, which I am prone to doing.

I love guacamole. I profess honest culinary devotion to avocados and guacamole. It is chocked full of healthy fats, vitamins, and protein. A great food that can not be improve upon. This recipe isn’t about improving guacamole. It’s a new food, a lower calorie creamy green dip that is about 1/3 the calories of that guacamole I love. But with twice the protein and less fat.

And broccoli is known cancer fighter, bone strengthener, cardiovascular health champion, bone-fide superfood and one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. We could all stand to be a wee bit addicted to a bowl of this stuff.

And it was so tasty, I ate it for lunch. And dinner. It’s like a dip with a mission, you don’t even have to feel bad about it. You are preventing heart disease and stroke one bite at a time. Really, it’s like medicine.

This recipe was inspired by Ludo Lefebvre. While giving an interview about his book, Ludo Bites, he spoke about a Broccomole he made. This is my version.

Broccomole

Ingredients

3 cups chopped broccoli
1 jalapeno, chopped, seeds removed
2 tbs green onions
1 tsp olive oil
2 ounces fat free cream cheese (or silken tofu, goat cheese, sour cream, cashew cream, something creamy)
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 tbs cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Cook the broccoli in lightly salted water until very soft. Overcook the broccoli in comparison to the al dente cooking that most recipes recommend.
Drain broccoli very well.
Transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth, add additional olive oil for a smoother texture.
Serve warm

I was skeptical but the way you described it makes me want to make it right away 😉

That sounds great! I am not skeptical at all 🙂 Such a beautiful green spread.

Bree October 10, 2012 um 6:58 am

How creative~! I bet I would love this too 🙂

Cassie October 10, 2012 um 7:55 am

I am not skeptical at all, in fact, I want the whole bowl. Such a great idea!

Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies October 10, 2012 um 8:02 am

I refuse to eat guacamole because avocados confuse and frighten me, so I’m totally down with guac made with broccoli.

Jackie October 10, 2012 um 8:52 am

Haha! My husband is the same way, hates them. Which works out well for me when I rescue him from the green glob they always add to his burrito at Mexican restaurants. He is much more excited about broccoli dip.

Debra February 8, 2016 um 3:29 am

I Love it, I like to buy them and just cut it, take the seed out of them and just sprinkle salt and pepper on them and eat them. I think they is so nourishing.

April Fiet May 28, 2013 um 7:04 pm

I love this recipe idea because I’m actually allergic to avocados. I love, love, love them, but they don’t love me in return!

Dixya @ Food, Pleasure and Health October 10, 2012 um 8:06 am

this is such a brilliant idea to enjoy veggies and eat more chips with it without feeling guilty at all..

Ashley – Baker by Nature October 10, 2012 um 8:16 am

I LOVE broccoli! This will be made.

Andrew @ Eating Rules October 10, 2012 um 8:27 am

I’m skeptical — but only of the "fat-free cream cheese." Think it would work with 2 ounces of avocado instead? 😉

Jackie October 10, 2012 um 8:43 am

When I added that I was actually thinking, "Andrew would not approve of this cream cheese situation!" It needs a creamy component, avocado would be great. Next time I make it I want to try silken tofu or goat cheese.

Anna @ hiddenponies October 10, 2012 um 9:33 am

My 4 year old LOVES broccoli so this dip would be right up her alley! Not sure I could only eat one ounce though 🙂

claire @ the realistic nutritionist October 10, 2012 um 9:51 am

This is actually impressive idea for a dip

Denise October 13, 2012 um 3:08 am

This dip looks so good and comforting, just want to dip everything in it (first need to make it, I know!). The name reminds me of one of Nigella’s recipes, where she combines roquefort and guacemole, and this definitely looks just as good!

Jackie October 15, 2012 um 10:58 am

Jackie October 20, 2012 um 7:31 am

I use the flowerets

Lindsey November 3, 2012 um 1:56 pm

Do you think this would work with frozen broccoli or does it have to be fresh?

[…] Avocados are an amazingly healthy food, but if you’re trying to lean out, you may want to avoid eating too much of them since they are high in fats (good fats, but still). Instead, I found this cool recipe for guacamole using broccoli instead of avocado. (https://domesticfits.com/2012/10/10/broccomole/) […]

Jenn A January 16, 2013 um 7:25 am

Great idea, definitely trying this! Although, I will probably sub avocado for cream cheese. The fat in avocado is the good kind of fat that our bodies need- especially our brains! Fat free cream cheese may lower calories, but it adds a lot of Chemicals… No thank you! :). Fabulous idea.

Jackie January 16, 2013 um 9:06 am

I agree, plant fat is always so much healthier than dairy fat! You can also sub in silken tofu (but that also has a lot of chemicals) or goat cheese, or cashew cream. I wanted this to be avo-fee (even though I LOVE avocados) because there are actually quite a few people who are nearly deathly allergic to avocados (how sad!) and I wanted to give them something they could have as a replacement for guacamole. But you are free to experiment and make it your own!

Jen July 18, 2013 um 3:36 pm

and We Thank you For It! Why Are There So Many Of Us That Are Allergic And love avocado?! 🙁

My son’s two favorite foods after pickles and cheese are broccoli and guacamole, in that order. This is the perfect marriage of the two…now how to marry cheese and pickles? 😉

Amber February 28, 2015 um 7:08 am

this may sound crazy but it tastes amazing. Pickles and cream cheese. Just mix cream cheese with pickle juice and then add chopped pickles. All to your desired consistency. It is SO good. Not healthy, but delicious with potato chips.

Berklee March 20, 2015 um 7:21 pm

Wow…I wanted to try this recipe so bad! I was looking for spinach dip because i had it thawing in the fridge for 2 days and really needed to use it.
So i used spinach instead of broccoli. Yum it worked great. I used twice the greek yougurt and 1/2 c cream cheese, and all I had was dried cilantro.
I was cooking up a chicken breast for lunch and thought…why not? So i spooned it over the chicken. I have to say it was delish, and saved a few calories not using chips or crackers.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Tammy February 19, 2013 um 8:10 pm

THANK YOU for this awesome recipe… And since I have been aware of it, I’ve made it TWICE now in a weeks time!!
So, I must add a little feedback/thoughts:
The first time I made it (only 1/2 recipe) it was AmAzinG!!! I boiled the broccoli- with stalks, (wasn’t thinking about nutrient loss and just did it) and in a blender added broccoli and then all the other ingredients minus the jalapeño (didn’t have any:-/) It turned out PERFECT! I was so excited I took it to work!!! And everyone loved it. I topped it with tomatoes and green onions, and ate with chips but red peppers were even better!!
The second time, I steamed the broccoli with stalks and in a blender added all the ingredients and then the broccoli. I used low fat cream cheese both times. The second time the results were not so good… total bummer! It was like a soft purée vs the creamy dip the first time around!
What did I do wrong??? Would love any feedback! Thanks!!:)

Tammy February 19, 2013 um 8:11 pm

Jackie February 19, 2013 um 8:56 pm

I’m not sure what happened. Maybe steaming was the problem? I’ve never steamed it. Maybe too much stalk? It’s hard to say. So sorry it didn’t work the second time, but if you figure it out, let me know!

Mary April 10, 2013 um 3:16 am

Maybe it was a combination of using a blender and steaming the broc? Blenders are not the same as a food processor, so that could have contributed.

Jackie April 10, 2013 um 6:55 am

People who steam the broccoli seem to not like it as well. Boiling gives the best results.

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but we busted out the bag of corn chips to just give it a taste, it was AMAZING! My kids and I all loved it! We all agreed it is different than guacamole, but it is a great low fat sub that is fantastic at sneaking in more green veggies! I will definitely make this again. I think next time I will look for a dairy free cream cheese so it has a bit more tang to it. (I used tofu, which was great, but I think the tang of cream cheese would just add a little something) I wonder if a squeeze of lemon would add what I am looking for….anyway, THANK YOU! SUPER YUM!

I’m thinking instead of the spices you listed add some melted 100% baking chocolate, vanilla, touch silken tofu, sweetener to the boiled broccoli (I would use a xylitol caramel and stevia)……

Wow- just found this recipe & made it. My new addiction!!! Taking to my sis in laws for Easter – if it lasts that long,

I tried this recipe with a few variations. It turned out tasting good, but maybe not fully what I was expecting. Or perhaps I just REALLY like avocado guacamole best! I blogged about my experience making it.

Just made this tonight, I added half of a can of full fat coconut milk and an avocado to make this paleo friendly. I didnt steam the brocolli since we try to eat as raw as possible but it was still really good. I always need inventive recipes to get my cruciferous and sulfur foods in and this was a great way to eat a ton of broccoli ( I added extra). Will probably be a staple in our kitchen now

I love this! I am allergic to Avocados so I’m very excited to try it. How many servings is your recipe?

Thanks!

I took this recipe and created a new version, however wanted to thank the creator for such a great idea. My version of this came out amazing and people seem to love it also.

I just made this and it is so delicious!!! I’m sure I will enjoy it cold too. It tastes more like avacado than broccoli to me, strangely enough, but I love both. Thank you for a delicious recipe. This will kick off a wonderful Father’s Day weekend for my hubby!!

So I used to live in Dallas in 1996 and our grocery store sold a dip called, Broccomole. It was delicious and I never saw it again after we moved back to the southeast. I came across your blog when googling recipes for it and am so happy to have found this! I’m allergic to avocados but love guacamole.

OMG! THIS RECIPE IS SO DELICIOUS! Thank you!!! It really does have that guacamole feel with no guilt for the fat! I had normandy blend frozen veggies in my fridge so I used that instead of just broccoli alone and used tahini sauce for the creamy. Yum yum yummmmmyyyy!

Wow! Great recipe. I used plain Greek yogurt as my something creamy and it turned out wonderful. Served with pita chips.
