TASTY TUESDAYS / / Yummy (Homemade) Hummus!

Blog, Tasty Recipes, Wellness

Hummus is great for a quick healthy snack with veggies before a hard workout or as a full meal with pita bread. Hummus is a great source of protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and fibers. Also, it’s best to make it yourself because store-bought hummus can be full of unhealthy preservatives.

Hummus is a healthy choice because it contains tons of omega-3 fatty acids which is great for keeping a healthy heart. Also, chickpeas don’t contain any cholesterol or saturated fats, and garlic and lemon are filled with antioxidants that help fight cancer and strengthen immune functions.
