Hummus Pizza?



Recommended Posts

So the other day my local grocery store had a sale on Tribe brand Hummus. It was buy one get 2 free. so i loaded up a bit. and i decided to try some flavors i hadnt tried yet. So i happened to pick up one that is vine ripened Tomato and basil.

Well i tried it and was immediately struck with an idea.

I took a Flat out brand flat bread with very low carbs ( get the skinny girl one if you can find them, if not the light work great as well.) i placed one in the oven for a few minutes on a cookie sheet, then took it out and i spead a layer of the tomato and basil hummus, on it then sprinkled it with skim mozzarella and topped with some turkey pepperoni, a little sprinkle of oregano and back in the oven for 7 minutes. and my god it was pizza heaven with 14 grams of Protein 9 grams of Fiber only about 12 carbs and less than 180 calories ( guestimate based on sizes etc. )

Totally hit my pizza cravings tooth.

Try this stuff , i guarantee youll not know it isnt pizza!

Enjoy!

I do something similar around here, but it's sort of southwesternish. I get the flat-out sandwich/hamburger bun folding ones, cut them in half (separate the two halves), spread each half with hummus spread, then spoon a bit of chunky salsa over that, then black Beans, then some chicken I've diced fine and cooked in adobo seasoning or taco seasoning goes on top. A little bit of shredded cheddar jack, and into the oven until the cheese is melted. It's a variation on something I found in one of the Biggest Loser cookbooks. They have some cool things. I don't remember if it's in their cookbook or on their website but there is also a recipe for something called Double Spaghetti or something like that. It's basically half steamed spaghetti squash and half spaghetti Pasta (I like the Fiber Gourmet for taste). You can serve it as a side. I often put steamed broccoli, lemon zest, and a sprinkling of shredded Parmesan cheese. If I want it for a main dish, I add Italian chicken sausage that I make from scratch (ground chicken, italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, and crushed red peppers if you like it hot). There are some cool recipes in there and you can easily adjust the portions. Some of them sound a little weird, but all of the ones I have cooked were good, even the weird sounding ones.

      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.
