Healthy Hummus

Hummus is so easy to make! It’s great for snacking with any kind of veg stick or healthy crisp bread. The combination of ingredients, mainly the high protein chickpeas and tahini (sesame seed paste), help balance blood sugars between meals giving you good energy and keeping cravings for sugar and refined carbs at bay. This tasty dip also provides healthy fats from tahini and olive oil and is a good source of dietary fibre for a healthy gut.
