I’m CRAZY about Hummus.
It’s a great game-changer and, in my opinion, can be paired with anything. I have it with eggs and veggies at breakfast, as a dressing in salad for lunch or dinner, or just plain as a snack.
The added bonus is Hummus is nutritionally balanced with protein and complex carbs from the chickpeas, and good fat from Tahini and Olive oil. It’s also easier to digest as compared to whole chickpeas since it blended, which means less work for the gut. I like to add a little extra lime to help with digestion + added zing!
