I Love Hummus!



Recommended Posts

And it is very easy to make. Here is my favorite recipe

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1 Can chickpea/garbonza Beans (15oz)

1/3 cup tahini (See note below)

¼ cup lemon juice

2 Tbs olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

½ - ¾ cup roasted red peppers

In a food processor, combine beans, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add red peppers and garlic until desired consistency.

I calculated the nutritional information based on ¼ cup serving:

Calories 154

Total Fat 11g

Sodium 190mg

Total Carbs 8.4g

Dietary Fiber 3.2g

Sugars .9g

Protein 5.1g

Tahini is sesame seed butter. I find it with the Peanut Butter or in the international isle of the grocery store.

Enjoy!

Love hummus! My favorite is plain old roasted garlic, but I also enjoy the roasted red peppers, the edamama, the black bean......mmmm mmm mmm.

I wish there was a good way to add more Protein to hummus. Maybe an unflavored protein? Worried that would ruin the taste and texture. Anyone have any ideas?

You can substitute roasted garlic for the Roasted Red Peppers to make roasted garlic hummus.I also have a tasty spicy black bean hummus recipe. Have to hunt that down & post it.

Happy New Year.

I've never have a problem getting my protein in for the day so I've not tried the unflavored protein. Be interested to see what people suggest.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
