Recommendation for hummus



Recommended Posts

Sorry, I need store-bought, I am not Suzie homemaker -).

I came across a low-fat powder in Amazon that you mix with olive oil. Has anyone tried this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00650ISK8?keywords=hummus&qid=1448193838&ref_=sr_1_1&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_n_feature_eight_browse-bin%3A2288328011&s=grocery&sr=1-1

If you have an Aldi by you they have hummus there that my family loves that is very reasonably priced.

My favorite is Sabra.

I second the Sabra, especially the roasted red pepper one. It's not hot! And you can frequently find coupons for this one.

The one at Aldi is made by sabarra but under a private label name for aldi, even though the packaging is the same, so it can be sold at half the price.

I like the Sabra as well.

However if you're going to mix something basic hummus is only 3 or 4 ingredients. One can of chickpeas, rinsed & drained, 1 tsp of tahini, glove of garlic, olive oil. Blend everything in a food processor, salt, pepper to taste. Some add a splash of lemon. You can add roasted peppers, cilantro, etc...To store put in a container and cover the top with olive oil. The powder stuff is probably powdered chickpeas with a bunch of fillers.

Just checked this link. The ingredients are chickpea flour, sea salt, tahini, garlic & lemon flavorings, carrageen and citric acid. So pretty much what I stated above. I've never tried it, but the ingredients aren't horrible if you aren't against eating foods with carregeen in it.

Price wise it's a rip off considering a can of chickpeas cost like $.69.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
