Idea 33. Red Bell Pepper Hummus.

This is my favorite hummus to day. I love making hummus from scratch, because:

  1. It’s super easy to make! – To make regular hummus you need only 4 ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and fresh lemon (I always add salt, cumin and garlic).
  2. It’s super delicious! – It’s super delicious on it’s own and original way, but if today you want more taste, with a strong overall nutrition, then the red bell pepper is a good idea.
  3. It’s super healthy! – It has over 50 gr of protein! With no farm animals hurt!!! How wonderful does that feel? And! Without the unwanted ingredients that come with it when you buy it in the store. I hope you enjoy. So!

Here we go:

Ingredients with their approximate protein breakdown:

  • 4 Red Bell Peppers ~4 g protein
  • 400 gr Chickpeas ~36 g protein
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon (squeezed) ~0.4 g protein
  • 1 clove Garlic ~0.2 g protein
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cumin ~0.4 g protein
  • 1/4 cup Tahini ~10 g protein

Estimated total protein:
≈ 51 g protein

Notes*
-Most of the protein here comes from chickpeas and tahini and the peppers.
-You can add tofu for an even more protein.
-Red bell peppers are a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable, packed with health benefits! They’re especially rich in vitamin C (1 medium red bell pepper providing well over 100% of daily needs!), along with vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support immune function, heart and eye health, collagen and skin health, and help reduce inflammation.

Directions: (this is how easy it is)

  1. PREHEAT YOUR OVEN ON 400 f.
  2. BAKE THE RED BELL PEPPERS, FOR 1 hr. (flip them on the other side after 30 min)
  3. TAKE OUT THE SEEDS AND THE STALK.
  4. BLEND EVERYTHING.
  5. ENJOY.
