Hummus plays a big part in my diet. On toast, with carrots, cucumbers or celery, smudged on a rice cake, almond crackers, or just on its own with a big spoon straight in the mouth. You really can’t go wrong with hummus. Now imagine what happens when you create a peanut butter hummus! Anyone who knows me, knows that I love peanut butter, so a combination of those two flavours creates snacking heaven. Chick peas, also known as a garbanzo bean is a healthy addition to any diet. It is a great source of protein and fiber, but also contains several key vitamins and minerals known to contribute towards weight loss. Keep it in a jar and it will stay well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Kids also really like this and it makes a great packed lunch option.
This hummus recipe is so simple and requires no cooking – only a food processor.
