I decided to by Sweet & Spicy Black Bean Hummus. It has only 40 calories per servings, versus 80-90 calories in the chick pea hummus I usually buy.
I liked the hummus; it was sweet, spicy (very!), and tasted like black beans. But I think it would be better served with pretzels or carrots, or another mild cracker or vegetable--something that doesn't clash with the strong flavor of the hummus. I found that the celery and hummus flavors were competing and it didn't balance well; it was a bit overpowering.
I would buy it again, but I wouldn't use it on celery.
It's not too appetizing to look at, but it tastes good.
Sounds like it would be perfect on a rice cake. :)
ReplyDeleteI just did hummus and turkey on a rice cake this week, but because they are both fairly bland it wasn't a huge winner - I will keep an eye out for new kinds of hummus to try.. :)
Agreed! I have some left so maybe I will try it this weekend. And I can where turkey and hummus would be bland. Unless you buy a flavored hummus. I don't know what's available to you, but we have one that's a sriracha flavor and it's hot! Good flavor, though. Maybe try that using a very thin layer of it.
DeleteI made a rice cake with a slice of chicken, cheese and avocado yesterday for dinner. Yum! You both have such great suggestions!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I made the one with cream cheese, ham and hard boiled egg for dinner last night. Snoskred created a monster!
DeleteI have wasabi goat cheese I need to use. I'm thinking that might be good, but I'm not sure what to pair it with.
