Best hummus in town...

On a low GI diet, snacking is a very important part of the daily routine because it ensures you maintain your sugar level stable. It is very important to remember that when you take a snack, you are not just snacking on a fruit or on a vegetable. Because if you do, you have a good source of sugars but no macro nutrient to slow down the absorption of the sugars like a source of protein or fat. Therefore, if you are snacking on vegetables, a yogurt dip or a beans or lentils dip can help greatly to make that snack filling effect, feeling much longer. Here is a great hummus recipe you can have with celery sticks, carrots, crakers, pita or rice cakes!

-1 1/2 cup of cooked, rinsed and drained chick peas
-juice of one lemon
-3 tbsp of tahini (sesame butter made by crushing sesame seeds)
-1 tsp of sesame oil
-1 tbsp of garlic powder or two garlic cloves crushed
-2/3 cup of water (more or less according to blender and desired consistency)
-Pepper and salt
-If desired spices or flavor of your choice (Italian, cumin, basil,olives or sun dried tomatoes)

Put all ingredients in a strong blender and blend until you get a smooth consistency.
Serve cold or room temperature with a dash of optomega oil.
