I think we can all relate to wanting to feel and look our best. Beauty comes from the inside out and feeding your body more fresh whole foods naturally helps your skin to glow, tired eyes to sparkle, stubborn weight to move on, and energy levels to soar. Whether you’re just starting to visit the produce section of your grocery store more frequently or you are a veteran at the farmers market, let these creative hummus recipes inspire you to nibble on a few more servings of crunchy bell peppers, sliced carrots, cucumber rounds, and asparagus tips this week and all summer long. I also love these hummus recipes scooped into sandwiches and spread on a crunchy piece of toast.
New To Green Lemonade?
As many of you beauties know, my goal each week at Green Lemonade is to celebrate easy, natural, everyday ways to cleanse, restore and rejuvenate your body, your mind and pretty much anything around you. The benefit of removing crud you ask? Over time, crud can weigh on your happiness, your energy and sometimes even your thighs.
5 Unique Hummus Recipes
-
Mexican Inspired Hummus
This Mexican Inspired Hummus includes turmeric. Health beauties love turmeric for its ability to help purify your blood and improve your skin tone.
-
White Bean Hummus with Carrot and Paprika
This White Bean Hummus with Carrot and Paprika celebrates fresh carrots which are rich in the antioxidant beta-carotene and possess an essential oil which kills parasites and unhealthy intestinal bacteria (which makes us crave junk food!).
-
Minty Hummus Spread
You’ll find health beauties enjoying lots of fresh mint⎯beyond ice tea⎯this summer because it is a wonderful digestive aid (a key part of a feel-good, look-young lifestyle). It’s also a great natural breath freshener when nibbled on its own! Celebrate mint in this Minty Hummus Spread.
-
White Bean Delight
Lately, I’ve been adding a tablespoon of tahini to this White Bean Spread to give it the characteristic of a more authentic hummus. Tahini is a very good source of copper and manganese as well as a good source of calcium. Copper helps your body absorb iron. Iron, of course, delivers oxygen to your heavenly tissues and beautiful brain. A well oxygenated body is a vibrant and energetic one.
-
Lemon Lover’s Kale Pesto-Hummus
This Lemon Lover’s Kale Pesto certainly falls outside of the definition of a classic hummus recipe given the list of ingredients. However, the consistency of this Pesto-Hummus is divine with a plate of crudite and its full of chlorophyll (thanks to the kale which is hidden in this recipe!) Chlorophyll removes heavy metals and chemical toxins from your body.
