Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the avocado to prevent browning and to add a fresh flavor.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until smooth with some chunks remaining for texture.
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until well combined to give the spread a creamy consistency.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the spread is smooth and the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary. (Note: keeping it low sodium means avoiding added salt.)
Transfer the spread into a serving bowl or airtight container. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
Serve the spread with toasted bread, sandwiches, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
