hummus, the truth...

We all love hummus, it's creamy, tasty, healthy? Well, i always figured anything that is containing beans and olive oil, should be good for me. just like avacados are good but fattening( the good kind), but stil fattening. hummus is nutritious, is lower in fat content than other dips. it does have 50 calores and 3 grams of fat per 2 tbls,so it's easy to overeat this, the tahini paste has most of the fat, so omiting this will help, but the taste? i will still enjoy this yummy dip, but i will need to control my intake along with any other dip, but i will also remember that is is healthy! so try to portion before you sit down and mow down with veggies!

I tried the mixture vs. homemade, it's really good!!! super easy to make, and cheap. Yes portion is necessary, it's so easy to over-induldge in hummus!! I'd rather it be that than a whole thing of spicy cheese dip....hehe...
