      Hummus is my go to snack with either Ak Mac crackers, fresh peppers, carrots or celery. I've only tried a few flavors-- Sabre roasted garlic is my favorite

      My wife and I like the Oasis brand. It seems to be the healthiest. Plus with every purchase of their product a dollar goes to feed a starving child. That alone keeps me going back to them. :wink:

      i get one called summerfresh.. they even have a snack size.. it's hummus and crackers.. for about 120 cals! much more filling than those 100 cal packs of other treats!!

      roasted garlic is yummy and so is roasted red pepper.. mmmmm

      I really like it; especially the spicy flavors (Chipotle or red pepper). I eat it on crackers, on pitas, bagels, as a veggie dip... Yum!

      I love the roasted red pepper with Pita chips or raw veggies. It's yummy. I have it 2 or 3 days a week as my afternoon snack.

      Try Sabra Hummus in the Original flavor! I could eat the WHOLE tub if I let myself! I like hummus with veggies (cucumbers, carrots, asparagus, etc) but try it with crackers or pita chips too! It is very similar to a bean dip or guacamole in texture.

      love it. Sabre is a great brand. I use it on sandwiches instead of mayo sometimes.

      I eat hummus with baby carrots as a snack almost every day. If I'm buying it, I usually get a roasted garlic flavor, but my wife has a recipe for making it in our food processor that's even better. (Last time, we added a pinch of dried ghost pepper... yum!)

      well I'm middle eastern. we make it fresh at home.

      its just so good. we make it extra lemony ...the consistency is like a bean dip, its thick
      you could look up a recipe and try making it yourself

      LOVE IT. I eat some everyday!

      I have stopped eating chips, and now eat carrots and hummus instead.

      I personally enjoy the roasted garlic hummus, and my local store has a Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus that is very good!!

      I do limit myself, I only eat the suggested serving size. If I could, I would eat the entire tub. :)

      I love, love, love hummus. It really doesn't have a lot of sodium per serving. It's low cal and very healthy for you. I like mine spicy too. Tribe has some yummy ones. Trader Joes also has a very good layered one with jalapeno & cilantro. Athenos brand roasted garlic is good too. I have yet to try one that I didn't like. With pita chips and use veggies to dip. Enjoy!

      I LOOOOVE hummus!! Homemade or store-bought. My kids love it, too, some nights it's the only way I can get them to eat their carrots!

      i make my own or get sabra. it's a bean dip of sorts (garbanzo). lots of different kinds. i like mine garlicky. of the sabra versions, i like pine nut, original, spicy and roasted red pepper. i eat with reduced fat triscuits as a treat or with the occasional pretzel crisps. also good on sammies instead of mayo - it's packed with protein so i often have a veggie sammie with hummus. also great with falafel on a pita and crammed with veggies.

      I LOVE Lilly's jalapeno hummus. So freaking good. It just tastes like a lighter version of bean dip. I hope you like it. I like to eat it with chips, on salads, with veggies, I love the stuff. Yummmmm now I'm hungry.

      I love it!!! Almost any flavoring, with almost anything...it's yum yum yummy! The one I buy most often is the single-serving size Tribe packs from Costco...less than $5 for 16 individual 'snack' sizes, 100 cals per pack. Mmmmm, now I want some hummus :laugh:

      I love hummus!!! I'm new to it though. So far my favorite is the Sabra- Roasted Red Pepper. MMMMMM!
    • Posts: 409 Member
      I like the Tribe brand. The roasted red pepper is good and I also like the original. If you really get into eating it a lot, its very easy to make your own. We used to make it in a blender in college. I am part Lebanese so I grew up eating it every Sunday at my Grandmother's house. Nothing compares to her's but many of the brands out there are very good.

      I eat Tribe Sweet Roasted Red Peppers hummus nearly every day with carrots and / or celery. I love it. Sometimes I like mixing in some nonfat plain Greek yogurt to add a little protein and make it more of a dip :heart:

      I also use tahini in mine. it is VERY versatile. i like making my own because i have more control over the fat/oil. i just add more water instead of oil...not as good, but gets the job done. :happy:
      I made a trio not long ago for a work snack day. They were all really good. Hummus can be adapted in so many ways.

      Edamame Hummus
      Servings: 6 • Serving Size: 1/4 cup • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 3 pts
      Calories: 107.4 • Fat: 6.7 g • Carb: 7.2 g • Fiber: 3.8 g • Protein: 6.1 g • Sugar: 0.5 g Sodium: 11.4 mg

      Ingredients:

      1 1/2 cups edamame (green soy beans) cooked and shelled
      2 tbsp tahini paste (sesame seed paste)
      1/4 cup water plus more if needed
      1 tsp lemon zest
      juice of one lemon
      1 clove garlic, crushed
      Kosher salt to taste
      pepper
      2 tsp olive oil
      black and white sesame seeds as a garnish (optional) - I used poppy seeds and white sesame seeds b/c that is what I had!

      Directions:
      In a food processor, blend soy beans, tahini, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper and 1 tsp olive oil until smooth. Add more water if needed until consistency is smooth. Place in a bowl and top with remainder oil and sesame seeds.


      Garlic Hummus
      Servings: 6 • Serving Size: 1/4 cup
      Calories: 130• Fat:7 g • Carb: 17 g

      1 can Garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
      Juice of one small lemon (add half at a time to desired taste)
      3 cloves garlic (I like bite with a bite, so I used 3 BIG cloves)
      3 TB Tahini
      Smidge of kosher salt
      1/4 cup water - add in steps
      1/2 Olive oil

      Dump all except oil in food processor and blend until smooth. I started with half the water and added until desired consistency. Garnish with Olive oil and paprika. (or cayenne if you like a kick)


      Black Bean Hummus
      Servings: 6 • Serving Size: 1/4 cup
      Calories: 110 • Fat: 5 g • Carb: 15 g

      1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
      Juice of one lime
      1 tsp cumin
      2-3 cloves garlic
      1 TB diced cilantro
      3 TB tahini
      1/4 cup water - added in steps

      Dump all in food processor and blend until smooth. I started with half the water and added until desired consistency. Garnish with additional cilantro.


      I use tahini in all my hummus, but some good olive oil will work if you don’t have/use tahini.

      You got to give it a try, I eat it on my sandwiches and as a dip for my veggies. I like the sarba red pepper the best.

      This thread is making me hungry! My favorite is a hard boiled egg, sliced in half, with the yolk removed and replaced with hummus!! I also make a wrap with turkey, romaine, and hummus.

      It's also a really good base for salad dressings. When I'm in the mood for a new "creamy" dressing, I add hummus to my balsamic and olive oil salad dressing and it's a nice change. Good luck!

      I love it! Artichoke/garlic is my favorite, but also red pepper. I prefer to make my own ...

      I love hummus! I found some super hummus at Kroger recently which has fewer calories and more protein. mmmm. It tastes closest to a bean dip, since I suppose it is a bean dip. ;)
      So good on peppers or pita.
