Day 8: Hummus
Lowfat, protein rich, highly nutritions, guilt free & delicious hummus!
Hummus is one of those super easy to make dishes that is an absolute essential for every vegan kitchen…or just every kitchen!
It’s tasty on so many things from veggies, to sandwiches to salads to crackers to you name it! It’s super healthy too because it is low fat high in protein and full of nutrients.
3 reasons to eat hummus:
1.Chickpeas are full of fiber, protein, anti-oxidants, minerals and help balance blood sugar.
2.The fresh garlic in hummus is anti-infalmitory antibacterial and antiviral.
3.The fiber and protein in the chickpeas and tahini will fill you up and keep you satisfied on the go.
I made a pot of chickpeas today and blended this together in no time at all. The hardest part is planning when you want to eat them because I like to soak the beans for at least 24 hours; soaking beans breaks down the enzyme inhibiters that can cause digestive issues and gas, it also helps you absorb the nutrients more easily and it also cuts down on cooking time.
Simply food process together:
chickpeas
fresh lemon
tahini
garlic
paprika
cumin
a little salt
Add a little water and blend until smooth and fluffy. What other ingredients do you like to add to hummus?
