Healthier Hummus
Posted by HHHAdmin on Aug 7, 2011 in 20 minute meals, Healthy snacks | 2 comments
Hummus is pretty healthy anyway, and it is always a good choice of snack. But, most ready made hummus has loads of oil in it, as well as tahini, which can really bump up the calories. This recipe is really simple, and the best thing about it is that you can make any flavour hummus you want. I went with a simple coriander flavour, but try adding some spice with chili or some caramelised onions.
Ingredients:
- 1 tin of chick peas
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tbsp Fage 0% Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
1) Put the chick peas, garlic and lemon juice into a blender.
2) Add the coriander and yogurt.
3) Blend until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed.
4) Serve with carrot and pepper sticks to dip in.

Hey hun, A version I came up with, instead of the yoghurt, add a small pot of onion and chive cottage cheese. It really was tasty, and I didn’t “miss” the oil taste either

Ahh, see, I avoid those cottage cheese pots because of all the added ingredients. With yogurt, it is just yogurt, and the oil is a good fat that I need to include in my diet. Thanks for the tip though
