Hummus Ideas???

westbrja

Hello Everyone,

I just found out today that I really like garlic flavored hummus. I had it with a small snack sized bag of pretzels but after eating them and logging it into my journal I soon realized they didn't come without a hefty dent in my carb and calorie budget. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with hummus? I've heard of people using it in wraps. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Hummus is quite delicious I've used it in place of mayo on sandwiches with spinach and turkey. Yum!

As well as wraps - use on any savoury sandwich instead of butter or other spread. Eat with celery and carrot sticks, wholemeal pita bread, wholegrain corn thins.

I love Hummus!!! I make it myself in a magic bullet blender.. YUM. I do every thing from black beans to pinto beans.. lots of garlic

You can use hummus on anything! I mainly use it as a dip for veggies or a spread on a veggie sandwich.. yum yum!

I've used it as a sandwhich spread, with carrots (and other veggies), with veggie chips, and with Stacy's pita chips - the possiblities are endless, just depends on your personal taste!

I like it with hard boiled egg whites, like a deviled egg but with hummus for the filling

I love hummus too, I buy the Cedar brand, which is a local brand here in New England, I love it with veggies, and also on toast, or even toasted corn tortillas broken up to look like chips.

Use it instead of mayo on sammies and wraps I tried it yesterday for the first time at costco on a thin bagel it was yummy (i think it was hummus with pine nuts)

I make a delicious hummus sandwhich (if you like all the ingredients)
Take the hummus and spread it like peanut butter on a low carb wrap. Then take thin sliced cumber, onion, tomtato and avacado stuff in the wrap and roll it. You can also add cheese or meat, but it really is best with just the veggies. Also use cucumber and celery instead of chips/breads etc. You can also make your own hummus with less oil/tahini, which will cut the calorie count. Use just the chick peas, lemon, juice, garlic and salt. and use the oil only as a binder.
Hope this helps!

I love hummus and carrots and bell peppers as a snack. My favorite is guacamole hummus.

I didn't know it was made out of different things? The only kind I've tried was whatever brand is on the cafeteria bar at the hospital I work at lol.

Its delicious, and you can make your own really easy.

I just put a rinsed can (or I make my own beans and use about 2 cups) of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), garlic, 2 TBSP EVOO, juice from half lemon, few dashes of cummin, lots of pepper, and mix it up in a food processor a few times. I save some of the juice from the beans or unflavored yogurt if it needs to be thinner or creamier, but its usually good. Then I add whatever flavor I want...olives, jalapenos, roasted red peppers, tobasco, sun dried tomatoes...whatever you would like.

Its so delicious!!

I use it on wraps, sandwiches, with crackers, dip popcorn in it, mix it with tuna instead of mayo, veggies such as corrots, peas, cucs, on baked potatoes, even works as dressing for a salad!!...it is my fav food right now!!!!

Guacamole hummus...I may be in heaven! Where can I get that recipe!!

i eat it just about everyday in wraps or with veggies...i am very carb sensitive and have to stay away from bread and crackers. the la tortilla factory have high fiber low carb tortilla that have only 50 cals...so you can bake those with a brush of olive oil and make smart chips....they are delish!

I water it down and use it as salad dressing sometimes.

I smear it on rice cakes and baby carrots. Yes, rice cakes! I know its such a cliche diet food, but its only 7 g carbs and good excuse to have hummus. Thats only like 15 g of carbs all together with th hummus.

I too recently found I like garlice hummus. My 6 year old picked it out, and I made a face. Now the whole family is hooked! lol

sandwiches, wraps, dip it with carrots or pita chips or tortilla or any kind of bread really.

It makes a great lunch: stuff it in a pita pocket with some greens, bean sprouts, and cucumber slices.
