I've been on a kick lately with my own home-made hummus, which is radically different from the stuff you buy. No way to count cals with this stuff, but this is how I make it : I cook the beans myself, somewhere around 3 cups cooked garbanzos, I puree with lemon juice of two lemons, about 4 to 6 T. olive oil. and enough water to make consistancy right. In a spice grinder I puree about 1/4 cup each of seseme seeds and flax seeds, and blend in with a couple cloves fresh crushed garlic, and sometimes about 1/4 chopped onion, or roasted red pepper, or some cilantro if I have any around. Salt to taste. Makes about 3 cups of really healthy hummus, roughly, pretty mild tasting, not very salty or oily either.
Spread on dense ww toast, or if just a snack, then one or two Akmak ww crackers... you think this stuff sounds like a good way to go for lunches and hunger pangs? I mean, oranges and carrots or celery might be a better choice for snacks, but heck, I'm such a carbo lover, and the garlicky flavor just makes it so satisfying.
