Flat Belly Recipe: Hi-Protein 4-Layer Bean Dip

Ingredients:
1 can of vegetarian re fried black beans
1 large ripe avocado
½ cup Safeway's Peach Pineapple Salsa or any medium salsa
16 oz. container of 2% Greek Yogurt*
½ cup grated smoked cheese

Heat beans to achieve a slightly warm, soft consistency. Spread on the bottom of a medium sized shallow serving dish. Remove avocado shell and pit and mash meat with salsa. Spread guacamole over beans evenly by dropping multiple dollops and smoothing with the bottom of a tablespoon. Stir Greek yogurt to thin consistency and spread over Guacamole layer. Grate cheese and distribute evenly over yogurt layer. Serve with Costco Pita or other firm chips. Serves 6-8

This stuff rocks and may be the healthiest thing you eat all day (although it feels like your biggest indulgence)!

* I'm a big fan of 2% fat Greek yogurt. Fage is a brand available at both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's has it's own brand as well (less expensive). It comes unsweetened so if you like, sweeten it to taste with honey, jam or a little bit of flavored yogurt. It can be used straight as a sour cream substitute. Besides being free of all the corn syrup or artificial sweetener of most other flavored yogurts, it is between double and triple the protein content of those other brands.
