Nat's low fat Humus Recipe

I'm always hungry by 3:30-4pm. 

This happens without fail, every.single.day.

I am trying to teach my little girls healthy eating habits, without being a crazy person....

(enter humus/humous/hummmmus)

Humus is so healthy, and I make it low fat by omitting the oil.

I cut up veg and serve it for a snack.

My kids eat it like candy. For realz.

It will only take you 5 minutes.

Then 5 minutes to cut up veg.

Super-duper easy.

 Also called chick peas:

Ingredients:

2 cans garbanzo beans/chick peas

bunch of torn up basil leaves

1/2 cup tahini  (This is sesame paste and can be found in most grocers.)

3 cloves garlic, cut up tiny or else mince it. (I broke my mincer.)

juice of two lemons

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp cumin

course salt / sea salt/ Kosher salt to taste

Put all that stuff in a blender. Blend, blend, blend. You might have to scrape down the sides a few times. 

Add about 1/2 cup of water to bring it to a nice consistency. Taste, and add more spice if need be.

Some people add 2 tbs of olive oil, but I don't like "eating" oil I can see, so I don't add it. I find it's no different really- in taste at all. 

*Olive oil is healthy in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, so don't fret if you prefer to add it. It's good for your heart in moderate quantities. 

I have a "nutrition psychopath" past.  I'm way over it. I like my Doritos, thank you. ;)

Gasp! Is my blender always that yucky looking? Ewwwwwwwe-aaaa.

All that deliciousness: fiber, vitamins, minerals, protein, and the added bonus of veg eating. 

YUM.

I'm off to meditate with Terence Yallop now. (Love him!) He's absolutely soothing, and my brain is always on fire so I neeeeeeeed the calming voice of a meditating - British accented - yogi person. LOL

See you ♥
