Hummus!


I asked my Facebook friends a few days ago about hummus.  I honestly had never tried it and was a little scared to buy it.  The name sounded weird and it looked like packaged vomit.  I did however like the health benefits.  I liked that it was low in calorie and carbohydrates.  So I ventured to Kroger yesterday in search of hummus.  After taking a lap around the store and coming up hummus less I asked an employee where it could be.  She directed me to the deli section and Hazzah! it was there.  I got "roasted red pepper" as that was the most talked about flavor on my Facebook post.  I looked into getting pita chips to go with it as that was a common recommendation by you all.  However after reading the nutrition label the carbs were way to high for my particular diet.  I decided to get raw cauliflower and broccoli.  I got it home and reluctantly dug in.  To my surprise it was DELICIOUS!  I am so excited to have a low calorie and carb snack!  The veggies give me that crunch (which for whatever reason I feel I need in a meal) and the hummus gives me the salt I need.  It was a very pleasant surprise.  Thank you to everyone who recommended it! Next step is making my own!

  1. Maybe I will give "roasted red pepper" a try. I just can't get past the "grainy" texture...it's like I think I need to stir i more you know?
