Hummus For Health


Hummus is super easy to make and it is really good for you. It is full of protein, and Omega-3's which keep your heart healthy and your skin plump and glowing. You can make it easily in lots of different ways, and it costs hardly anything to do so.
If you buy hummus at the store, it is expensive and way too salty. This is the better way to go, and I will tell you how.

You will need:

Blender
Olive Oil, about 1/4 cup
1 clove Garlic
Can Organic Garbanzo Beans with the water
Juice from one Lemon
About 3 spoonfuls Tahini (you can find this at Fresh N' Easy or any "Hye" Market)
Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste

Blend

That is it! Your hummus will taste best after a few hours in the fridge, after the flavors have settled together.

You can sub the Garbanzo beans for Black Beans.
You can add roasted red peppers, basil, or anything else you would like. Get creative!
Eat with Pita bread, veggies, crackers, whatever you like.
