You get several fatty pieces in every bite. If you're going for a rich savory flavor you will like this. Calories: Not given.
Total Fat: Not given. Brenda says: The very dark green color will have guacamole aficionados questioning the freshness of this dip.
It offers a smooth and creamy consistency, and a fresh aroma. But I could only taste the avocado, with an extremely mild garlic -- maybe it was onion -- bitter aftertaste. Kristen says: Bitter aftertaste, though I can taste the vegetable bits. Very green in color. Smells like cauliflower, even when stirred. Fresh, with a little pepper kick. Not very creamy. Brenda says: While it smells freshly-made, this guac is super salty!
Kristen says: Yay, we're back to a guacamole that smells like guacamole. Taste, not no much. It's salty. Definitely has a processed taste.
Not horrible, but not great. Brenda says: While I appreciate a chunky guacamole, this one was just too much! There is plenty of tomato and onion in this one -- so much so that it is almost enough to make you swear off guac. Kristen says: Tons of tomatoes, which totally overpower the taste.
Tastes like tomato salad. Runnier than others and a little creamy. Total Fat: 2g. Where we bought it: Mustard Seed Market. Brenda says: I enjoyed this one, though it was a bit on the over-processed side for me. Kristen says: Creamy and very salty. Kudos for no grainy taste.
Smells fresh. This is better than most prepackaged ones. Brenda says: There were plenty of large chunks of veggies in this one but all one could taste was the pepper. Kristen says: Love the fresh and large pieces of veggies.
And the veggies are crisp. I taste a lot of pepper, too. This one is creamy and fresh-tasting for being prepackaged. Due to short shelf life, we purchased the guacamoles in small increments. Brenda says: The beans looked a bit more like pintos pink than black beans, but the flavor offers that hearty black bean taste. It had a nice fresh appearance and flavor. I enjoyed this one. Kristen says: Lots of black beans. This has a cool, yet hearty flavor. It was fresh and very filling.
Brenda says: Heavy on the onion flavor, to the detriment of anything else. There was some heat, but it dies off quickly. Kristen says: Very green. Immediate flavor tastes chalky, though that decreases as you eat more. Smooth, but few pieces of avocado,.
Brenda says: WOW! There was an immediate burn from this one. Sadly, it tastes a bit artificial after the burn subsides. Kristen says: This was the spiciest guac we sampled. Label says it may contain serrano or habanero peppers. The heat starts slow and builds. Don't worry, it's not too hot to enjoy. It's creamy and fresh too. Where we bought it: Fresh Thyme. Brenda says: For a guac that is billed as "spicy" this one doesn't deliver much heat.
Darker green in color, it does not look or taste super fresh either. There are some chunks of avocado and shreds of cilantro, but the avocado is mushy. Kristen says: I was afraid to try this after how wretched the brand's chunky version was but was pleasantly surprised. It's not nearly as spicy as other spicy varieties we ate. It's almost odorless, which is not a bad thing with these preservative packs.
Brenda says: With a layer of tomatoes and onion on top, and a Mexican spice aroma, I expected more. The taste was a bit pedestrian, though the Mexican spice blend comes though in the aftertaste. Kristen says: Creamy with a pepper flavor just a tad on the spicy side.
Smooth consistency, almost too smooth. I wish it had bigger chunks of onion. Where we bought it: Lucky's Market. Brenda says: Another truth in advertising, with the bright lime flavor taking over the smell and taste of this guacamole.
It looks fresh and has a pleasing chunky appearance and texture with plenty of tomato and avocado pieces throughout. Kristen says: I definitely smell and taste lime. This dip tastes identical to those Tostitos chips with lime seasoning! Looks appetizing with chunks of avocado and veggies. The lime may mask the processed taste and I'm OK with that after two big bites. Brenda says: Lighter green than many we have eaten. It's very chunky and very garlic-y — not much flavor otherwise.
Kristen says: Has a cool, refreshing taste. I can feel the cut-up pieces of avocado on my tongue. Big pieces of veggies too, namely tomato and onion. Loads of fresh cilantro. Very chunky, and very creamy. Brenda says: I like this one. It had plenty of black beans and corn throughout. The corn does look roasted over an open flame. A good kick comes in right away.
Good southwest flavor with a nice cilantro aftertaste. Kristen says: I'm not a fan of beans and corn in guac. It does add heartiness and creamy taste and I give Aldi points for being different. This doesn't taste grainy, and I get zero preservative taste. Brenda says: This one just looks old -- not bright like fresh guac. You can see the chunks of tomato and jalapeno, but it was runny when first opened.
Smells very onion-y. All I can taste is the heat. Kristen says: Smells fresh like restaurant tableside guac. Big veggie pieces and a spice that lingers a bit. Definitely has that preservative taste but it's creamier than others.
Total Fat: 4g. Where we bought it: Meijer. Brenda says: Much more processed than most guacamoles we have tried. The taste is fresh — but then the heat hits.
Kristen says: This one is a bit creamy. Best part is I don't get the preservative taste like so many others, and this one is not the least bit grainy to boot. It's loaded with spices and pepper and the avocado is mashed in some bites. Brenda says: This variety of Yacatan is not as thick as the "authentic" tub. The flavor is more subtle as well.
It has a very creamy consistency. I prefer more veggie chunks. It was a tad too salty for me as well. Kristen says: Very salty. This tastes the same as Yacatan's Authentic, just not spicy. I applaud it for not having that grainy processed preservative taste.
Where we bought it: Dave's Supermarket. Brenda says: I have to admit I was surprised by this brand. It smells freshly made, and has a nice green color with large chunks of avocado. There was quite a kick at the end. Kristen says: Creamy and the veggies taste fresh. It has some spiciness to it. Above average for these mass produced guacs with long shelf lifes, as I tasted zero graininess and zero preservative flavor. The individual serving size might not be great for dipping at your next playoff party, but it is perfect for meals on-the-go and homemade avocado toast.
Whole Foods is known for its delicious market-brand foods, and this traditional guac is no different. And while this packaged guac may not be the most flavorful, you can add your own flavors and spices to help it taste just right. Looking to add a little spice to your life? This Sabra brand guacamole packs a pretty hearty punch. And while there are definitely spicier guacs on the market, we like this one because it flawlessly toes the line between being spicy and flavorful.
When you have a few ripe avocados but literally nothing else, this seasoning mix is a must.
