Going to a pool party or cookout this weekend and need to take something? Why not opt for something easy and healthy? Whip up some hummus, cut up some veggies and whole wheat pitas, and you are on your way! I looked at lots of different hummus recipes last weekend, but you don't even really need one. Here's all you do:
1 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans (chick peas)
2 oz lemon juice
2 oz olive oil
1-2 garlic cloves
1/2 t cumin
a little salt if you'd like
Mix it all in the food processor until almost smooth. That's it! Some recipes call for tahini but it's not necessary and is lower fat without it. Each serving of garbanzo beans has 110 calories, a whopping 6 grams of fiber, and 6 grams of protein. Not bad!
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
