Gluten Free Hummus Recipe

Gluten Free Hummus Recipe

Gluten is just lurking around every corner. And even if you manage to find gluten free goodies to munch on the sugar and fat can kill ya!

Hummus gets a bad wrap sometimes. It can be bland and may have a hippie connotation but really there is a lot to like about hummus. When seasoned properly it is delicious, it is packed with fiber, good fat and when served with fresh veggies it actual is very healing to your liver.

I know you can buy fairly decent hummus almost anywhere these days but you make it yourself you can ensure it is packed with flavor and is indeed a healthful snack. And it is a snap to make.

Skip the pita, serve with fresh veggies or even apples (don’t cringe, it is actually quite yummy) and if you want to elevate it to high status, pipe it onto the veggies for a pretty presentation. This hummus is definitely not hippie food!
