Hummus

Hummus is a great way to add some protein to lunches and snacks.  It can be very inexpensive if you make it yourself.

 

Add to food processor –

16 oz can of garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained

2 TBSP lemon juice

1-2 TBSP tahini

½ tsp ground cumin (optional)

¾ tsp sea salt

½ C olive oil

Puree until the consistency you would like. Add a little water if it seems too thick and puree a little more.

 For cilantro hummus, add about 1/3 c fresh cilantro(I use leaves and stems.)

For some spice, sprinkle in a little ground cayenne pepper. I almost always do this for us at home. Just a little seems to give it a better flavor, but does not make it spicy.
