I have tried all the normal ones you can pick up at your local walmart, safeway, and target. Each time finding one that was Ehhh eatable but nothing to write home about. Most of the time I have had to add something to the garlic hummus to make it perfect for my pallet.
I started eating hummus when I figured out that eating pita chips, and potato chips were no longer going to be on my diet. I was trying to find something fairly snack worthy and satisfying to help with my hunger before and after workouts. I was on weight watchers at the time, trying to shed pounds so I could have my gastric bypass. It was hard to find things that were low in points that I could feel satisfied with at the same time.
Hummus was one of the things that I said EWWWW about anytime someone mentioned it in passing. Gross chickpeas what!??? No means no I have always been a super picky eater so I have lived my life missing out on tons of good food. But once my diet was going to be several restricted I had to think outside of the box for food that would be kind to my body and mind.
So today let me introduce you to Open Nature 100% natural Garlic & Chive Hummus. Let me just tell you that I was totally against it the moment my mother and law brought it into the house. Because it had chives in it, and in my mind.. CHANGE BAD!!! So I was reluctant to try it for a week, until one day I got brave enough to open the package and it blew my mind..
It is perfectly garlicky with a nice hint of onion, the texture is smooth and creamy! There is a great hit of salt that you will appreciate when you eat it with veggies. This is the first hummus I haven't had to add something to in order for me to eat it. I highly recommend this one if you can find it or any of the open nature brand hummus in your local stores. This one was purchased at Safeway here in California.
