I love hummus...

-The main ingredient of hummus is chic peas (garbanzo beans). Chic peas are very high in many nutrients such as fiber, magnesium, protein, folate, and iron. To learn more nutritious facts about chic peas CLICK HERE.

- You can make hummus very easily right at home choosing an ideal recipe to satisfy your taste buds. CLICK HERE for a recipe.

- Hummus adds awesome flavor to your favorite snacks such as toast, crackers, veggie platters, wraps, or sandwiches.

- You can buy hummus in a variety of seasonings so that you'll never get bored with one taste. My personal favorite is the chipolte pepper that I buy at Trader Joe's.  CLICK HERE to find a Trader Joe's in your area.

- On a sandwich hummus is great because it only has 50 calories per 2 tbs opposed to 99 calories per 1 tbs of mayonnaise. It may be lacking in calories but is defiantly abundant in flavor.

- Hummus contains all nine essential amino acids for a complete source of protein.

Here is one of my very own recipes including hummus...

Turkey, Hummus & Spinach Sandwich

- Toast 2 pieces of multi grain bread

- after bread is toasted spread one serving (2 tbs) of hummus on one piece of the bread

- put 2 slices of turkey breast over the hummus

- place fresh spinach leaves on top of the turkey

- place the second piece of toasted bread on top to make a sandwich and cut in half

- ENJOY YOUR TASTY SANDWICH!
