Wholly Avocado - Chunky Avocado Minis

Guacamole is a strong word, since the only ingredo here is avocado, but I use it the same way anyhow. The texture is certainly still Mushy Guac. It's oddly vinegary and wet, but good on salad anyway or fine with chips. Could add seasoning to it I guess! Most importantly, it's a convenient single-serve veg.

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Yo Quiero! Mashed Avocado

It's not a lie, I really do quiero mashed avocado. This is much better than those packaged guacs, because this is not actually guac, it's 100% avo. So yes, that's very tasteless, but you can add spices or onions/tomatoes/garlic and it's exactly what you want, whereas there's no fixing the bitter acidic mess that is "wholly guacamole". Anyway, this was good for nachos and even lasted a day or two once opened. Would buy again for sure.

Wholly Guacamole - Spicy

Ah, this is not as good as the one with corn in it, and it also is way too much to eat in one serving, but they didn't have the little ones at the store! As far as this flavor goes, it was indeed spicy, and far too smooth and salty for my liking. But it's better than the plain one because at least there's spice. It's no Chipotle guac though!

Cost: 4/10 [over 6$!]

Just Add Dip - Classic Guacamole

I definitely like the idea of this packet (add to avo and you have guac!), but the actual reality was a dud. It had a really strong flavor, but it wasn't the garlic/lime flavor I expected, rather it was like a lot of sugar and onion powder and preservatives. I think a plain avocado would be preferable. It did mix in easily though, and maybe I should just use less and add some tomato and onions in. But that defeats the purpose of the "convenient mix"!

Wholly Guacamole minis - Classic Guacamole

If you're someone who likes to eat some veg every day, this is a very convenient way to help accomplish that! This is 4 little prepackaged cups, just enough so that you don't end up wasting a ton of guac every time you want guac. Kind of the same principle as the individually packaged chicken breasts. Anyway, the taste of these isn't THAT good - pretty much all fresh guac is better. But the ingredients aren't BAD, it's mainly just avo, vinegar, spice and preservatives, so nothing weird or unhealthy, just that I wish there were tomato and onion and cilantro and less water and vinegar. But for the shelf life of this, I understand. It usually lasts about 1 month past purchasing, which is solid, although be aware that the date on the outer box and the dates on the individual cups are sometimes different (no idea why). The taste is really creamy and a little vinegary for my taste, but otherwise smooth and pleasant. I usually eat this with crackers or chips, though I suppose it could do in a sandwich too. Salad not so much, as it's quite goopy, even though there are occasional nice avo chunks inside. Overall convenient so I like it, though the taste is just so-so.

Overall
Cost: 6/10 [4$, which is a lot, but cheaper than 4 avos!]

Wholly Guacamole - Roasted Corn over Guacamole Layered Dip

This is pretty good! Sometimes you just don't want to deal with the stress (and expense) of buying the right avocado for urgent guac needs. And a lot of premade guac (even from this very company) is old looking, mushy, or gross. Luckily, I love corn and this bad boy is at least half corn (the top half), and so you can't even see how dark and watery the underguac is! Mostly. Anyway, it has a nice fresh corn taste, a little spicy but certainly not "medium" (less than this). I only really enjoy this with chips, though - otherwise the flavor is too strong and it's also too watery and maybe a bit sweet. But it's a solid dip, healthy enough, and lasts a few days longer than homemade guac.

Cost: 5/10 (about 4$)
