Get your hummus heeerrrreeeee!!

After whipping myself into shape with some of the most bland foods imaginable I found myself very frustrated and desiring fast food condiments in bulk. I wondered how people stayed in such great shape all the time and never got tired of eating grilled chicken and egg whites. Although I have learned over time it is OK to eat a variety of different foods, it is crucial to interrupting the monotony of eating the same thing. Hot sauce will only get one so far. I was eventually saved by an unlikely source, the Middle East.

Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip filled with chickpeas, garbanzo beans, and tahini. Tahini is the spread type texture from sesame seeds thats gives the dip that paste quality. Chickpeas and sesame seeds are incredibly healthy, being loaded with protein and fiber. Hummus is a good source of fat and low in sugar. Hummus also contains Vitamin E, potassium, and other antioxidants. Not to mention it tastes wonderful.

Go to you local grocery store and check out some of the different flavors. I like the roasted red pepper and chipotle hummus best. Try putting it on one side of your bread and have a turkey, ham, roast beef, chicken, or basically any other type of sandwich you can imagine. You can even dip some vegetables in there like broccoli, celery, or carrots. Enjoy!
