I Love Hummus!



Recommended Posts

And it is very easy to make. Here is my favorite recipe

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1 Can chickpea/garbonza Beans (15oz)

1/3 cup tahini (See note below)

¼ cup lemon juice

2 Tbs olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

½ - ¾ cup roasted red peppers

In a food processor, combine beans, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add red peppers and garlic until desired consistency.

I calculated the nutritional information based on ¼ cup serving:

Calories 154

Total Fat 11g

Sodium 190mg

Total Carbs 8.4g

Dietary Fiber 3.2g

Sugars .9g

Protein 5.1g

Tahini is sesame seed butter. I find it with the Peanut Butter or in the international isle of the grocery store.

Enjoy!

Love hummus! My favorite is plain old roasted garlic, but I also enjoy the roasted red peppers, the edamama, the black bean......mmmm mmm mmm.

I wish there was a good way to add more Protein to hummus. Maybe an unflavored protein? Worried that would ruin the taste and texture. Anyone have any ideas?

You can substitute roasted garlic for the Roasted Red Peppers to make roasted garlic hummus.I also have a tasty spicy black bean hummus recipe. Have to hunt that down & post it.

Happy New Year.

I've never have a problem getting my protein in for the day so I've not tried the unflavored protein. Be interested to see what people suggest.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
