Making your own hummus is super easy and again, way healthier than anything you’ll buy at the supermarket. It’s also a really nutritious snack, especially if you’re eating it with vegetables.

Some of its healthy benefits include:

• great plant-based protein source

• healthy mono and polyunsaturated fat source

• low carbohydrate

• packed with vitamins and minerals (manganese, copper, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, thiamin, B6 & potassium)

Warning - this recipe does contain raw garlic so beware of that when interacting with others afterwards!

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes in olive oil with Italian seasoning
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
3 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP tahini
1/2 tsp salt
1 - 2 TBSP water (optional if you like your hummus thinner)

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until creamy (approximately 10 - 15 seconds). You may have to use a spatula to move the mixture into the middle of your bowl halfway through.

2. Enjoy with your favorite vegetables - carrots, celery, broccoli, peppers, kohlrabi, zucchini, etc.
