I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a hummus fan. Well, that is until now.
It’s funny because my nephew LOVES hummus. He’d marry it, if he could. 🙂
It was my daughter that started eating hummus. Sure, I’d buy it every now and then, but I’d get tired of it quickly. Then my daughter decided to try it. She loved it!
I wasn’t too thrilled with the options at the store and ran across a recipe that was raved about in a Facebook group.
We tried it and liked it, but, of course, we decided to make it so much better. 😉
Hummus is so fast & easy to make, it only takes a few minutes.
And my favorite part, is that it’s so healthy for you.
The garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) add protein and fiber, which helps you feel full, as well as iron, folate & B vitamins. The lemon juice adds immune boosting vitamin C, and raw garlic is antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory.1

Some of our favorite ways to eat hummus is with chopped vegetables, tortilla or pita chips, spread on a sandwich. You can even spread it on a romaine lettuce leaf and top with sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, & onions for a yummy wrap. It’s so versatile!
