Hummus

[gottagonow 82]

I compared a few brands and found Tribe hummus to be the best calorie wise. Olive oil is a healthy oil, but it's still an oil and can add a ton of calories to things. I imagine that was what the other poster was getting at. I was out to eat and ordered tomatoes and mozzarella...it was drenched in olive oil. I wasn't comfortable with that much oil and all of those calories.

So you don't eat it with olive oil ?

The amount true Arabic /Islamic restaraunts put on top can be a lot! There was a good 3-4 tablespoons

Can someone please tell me what a "slider" food is?

[Dragonfly1111 61]

I freeze it in half tsp size balls and then eat it frozen as a finger food! Weird I know but started as a way to keep it from going bad in the fridge bc the rest of my family won't eat it. I also have a recepie for Choc chip "cookie dough" hummus! It adds Peanut Butter and a touch of maple Syrup and a few semi sweet Choc chips and tastes just like Cookie dough! Satisfies my sweet tooth!

I'm definitely going to try the cookie dough one. Sounds great! Thx

A slider food is any food that sits well with your sleeved tummy (or passes through the band easily). Not only can you eat it, but you can eat a lot of it in comparison to other foods that struggle to make there way down.

Awe tuna seems to be mine and yogurt and surger free pudding .

Thank you!

Just bought some hummus from wall mart today used mushrooms like chips . I have to say it was pretty damn good !

If you make your own (which is yummiest anyway), you can cut down on calories by substituting some or all of the chickpeas for cauliflower. Just do a quick google search for cauliflower hummus. You can add in some Protein powder too (for hummus, I like pumpkin seed Protein Powder, since it tastes like actual food).

I would like to learn how to cook it . Does not seem to be to much cal

This is the best standard hummus recipe I've ever used, just in terms of proportions and adding things in the correct order for the best texture:

Of course, the taste would be the same even if you threw everything into the food processor at once, but if you wanna make hummus that will really knock people's socks off, this is an awesome base recipe. You can add all sorts of stuff to it: more spices, more lemon juice, roasted garlic, etc. It's awesome. I get sooo many compliments on hummus and this recipe (as the base, anyway) is to thank for it.

I love hummus, homemade or store bought. Where I work we once had a blind taste test of all the brands (just for fun) and my homemade came in second!

But I think it's funny that a thread about hummus has 29 posts. Really, what is there to say? LOL.
