Fat Free Hummus!
 

After searching for months, I finally found it!! Fat Free Hummus! I didn't think the stuff even existed but when I came across it at Kroger yesterday I literally could have jumped up and down screaming :carrot: LOL! Ahh yes, it's heavenly and I can consume the entire container without feeling any guilt because it has a point value of 2. I also found Fat Free Feta right next to it and I had also been looking for that with no luck. Both were a little pricey but well worth the few dollars I paid for each.

Brand? I love hummus.

i just make it myself, but if you don't have the time, great find!

Hungry Girl has a hummus recipe I've been meaning to try with a PP value of 1... http://www.hungry-girl.com/askhg/show/1898

I love bean pastes. Not just hummus. I do buy hummus occasionally, but usually I just drain a can of beans (garbanzo, black beans, pinto, lima, kidney, pink beans, black-eyed peas even baked beans or fat free refried beans) and whir it up in a food processor with extra seasonings and some moisture (usually some kind of garlic or onion, bellpepper or celery, and a salad dressing, vingegar, wine, salsa or barbecue sauce).

I use it as a quesadilla filling or a dip for veggies & baked chips. It's great for last minute guests or potlucks, because it's so super quick to make.

Some of my best combos:

Baked beans (plain or fancy), some onions a smidge of barbecue sauce (or even ketchup).

(This one always gets the best reviews at polucks & the biggest surprise when they learn what it is).


White beans (cannellini or any white or light colored bean)/onion, garlic or shallot/ vinaigrette dressing (oil & vinegar or italian) or even wine.


black beans or refried beans & salsa (with refried beans you don't even need a food processor, just stir).

chili seasoned beans (don't need to add anything, just drain lightly. I usually do add onion though).

white beans/cilantro/asian dressing (like Newman's sesame ginger)

Great thread, I'm inspired to head to the kitchen right now and whip up some hummus!

Oooh yeah, hummus and zucchini strips. That could work for breakfast, right? :)

Kimberly, what brand is the hummus you found?

Not what the OP bought, but this recipe looks fun to try:

I'd recommend a bit of caution on eating entire container thinking it's a fat free product. They may not have added any oil, but as chickpeas/garbonzo beans naturally contain fat, I suspect the marketer has based claim of 0 grams of fat on showing a small enough serving size that they're allowed to round value down to 0.

I guess you found a hummus substitute. Hummus by definition has oil in it, and the beans contain oil.

I'm going to have to try these, they sound awesome!!!

Kaplods- all these combos sound so good! Will have to try out some of these! TFS!

Sorry it took so long to get back with everyone about the brand!! It's Oasis Classic Cuisine =D

As a few have also mentioned, I'm a bit suspicious of an entire container of hummus being only 2 pts.

Ok, I found this in the archives. No tahini or olive oil, and the chick peas are also mixed with carrots and cauliflower. I definitely have to try some of this. :carrot:

I have to see if I can find some of that.

Oh Kimberly! I could kiss you! I too have been searching and am completely addicted to hummus. I need to go to the store tonight so I am hoping I find it. I shop at Ralphs which I believe is Kroger.

Yum! I love hummus. I have never had homemade hummus though. Hmm....

Rarr- personally- homemade hummus can be messy and it doesn't get smooth enough (for me) no matter how long I do it in the blender even pushing down the sides with spatula. I'm thinking about getting a food processor just for that.... It's cheaper, though..... 1 can of garbanzo makes a LOT.

If a food has less than .5 grams of fat per serving, it is allowed to be labeled "fat free". It may not actually be fat free when multiple servings are being consumed.

Thanks for the info Amandie =)

Lynx, in this case it is truly fat free. The ingredients are listed above.

Kimberly, I went to Krogers yesterday and they did not have this brand. Shoot! We've got another Krogers in town though, so I'll try them this weekend.

yummy yummy yummy
