Hey everyone - just a quick post to see if anyone can recommend a good (low fat) Humous recipe - or stockist (UK based if poss !!) ............ I love humous and carrot/celery but following my Slimming world plan only alows a few grams of humous and the portion is so small its upsetting !!!! i tried the SW recipe which was chickpeas, peppers, fat free yoghurt, lemon juice and salt and pepper....and found it to be tasteless :(

any ideas would be much appreciated !

    hummus is made from chick peas. Try making it yourself without the added oil, try different beans like kidney it is less calories than chick peas.. salsa or tiziki..

    Try this one: It's from Women's Health and tastes awesome, better the next day!

    Edamame Hummus
    Soybeans turn this traditional pita-bread partner on its head, and they're brimming with hunger-satiating protein and fiber. For a zesty kick, stir in 1/2 tsp sriracha, a Thai hot sauce found in your grocery store's condiment aisle.

    1 cup frozen shelled edamame
    1 tsp chopped garlic
    1 Tbsp tahini
    1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
    3 Tbsp water
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 Tbsp olive oil

    Boil frozen edamame 4 to 6 minutes; drain. Combine edamame in a food processor with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt; blend well. Drizzle in olive oil. (If the texture is too thick, add another tablespoon of water.)

    MAKES 4 SERVINGS. Per serving: 101 cal, 7 g fat (<1 g sat), 5 g carbs, 152 mg sodium, 2 g fiber, 5 g protein

    i use the traditional reciepe, but use the juice from the beans instead of the oil. Just as good. Just doesn't taste as rich.

    Try with fat free yoghurt, lemon, garlic, chick peas well blended. Rinse your chick peas to get rid of some of that salt! Throw in finely chopped tomatoes or green peas for color and originality. So good!

    The edamame one is great. At first i got nervous that the Tahini had taken over, but has terrible as it sounds make yourself wait a day to eat it, or a few hours. Then all the flavors can seep into each other. Much better! Enjoy :)
