Recommendation for hummus



Recommended Posts

Sorry, I need store-bought, I am not Suzie homemaker -).

I came across a low-fat powder in Amazon that you mix with olive oil. Has anyone tried this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00650ISK8?keywords=hummus&qid=1448193838&ref_=sr_1_1&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_n_feature_eight_browse-bin%3A2288328011&s=grocery&sr=1-1

If you have an Aldi by you they have hummus there that my family loves that is very reasonably priced.

My favorite is Sabra.

I second the Sabra, especially the roasted red pepper one. It's not hot! And you can frequently find coupons for this one.

The one at Aldi is made by sabarra but under a private label name for aldi, even though the packaging is the same, so it can be sold at half the price.

I like the Sabra as well.

However if you're going to mix something basic hummus is only 3 or 4 ingredients. One can of chickpeas, rinsed & drained, 1 tsp of tahini, glove of garlic, olive oil. Blend everything in a food processor, salt, pepper to taste. Some add a splash of lemon. You can add roasted peppers, cilantro, etc...To store put in a container and cover the top with olive oil. The powder stuff is probably powdered chickpeas with a bunch of fillers.

Just checked this link. The ingredients are chickpea flour, sea salt, tahini, garlic & lemon flavorings, carrageen and citric acid. So pretty much what I stated above. I've never tried it, but the ingredients aren't horrible if you aren't against eating foods with carregeen in it.

Price wise it's a rip off considering a can of chickpeas cost like $.69.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
