Super Bowl Sunday is probably the biggest junk food fest of the year!  Lots of chips and beer!  I thought I would post a recipe for homemade hummus, which is not only delicious, but contains good nutrition too!  Bring sliced pita bread and a variety of crunchy raw veggies to your SB party and at least have 1 healthy option!  Compared to potato chips and dip, which have no nutritional value, you will benefit from  a low fat,  fiber and protein rich food  source with fewer calories per serving.  Hummus has about 50 compared to chips at 150. 

Here is the recipe:

1 cup garbanzo beans  (wash and soak to make 2 cups) You can used canned to substitute.

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup raw tahini

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

3-4 Tbsp. Bragg’s liquid amino’s

2-3 fresh garlic cloves

1 handful fresh cilantro

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Put liquid in blender to food processor first, then add garlic and then last beans. Blend until smooth.

You can add more a little more olive oil or Bragg’s to change consistency.
