Sabra Hummus (with your personal touch)

Today was a left-over lunch kind of day.  Not bad at all though!  The other day I got some Sabra brand hummus (my favorite store-bought hummus).  As an after-lunch snack, I enthusiastically devoured a healthy serving with some pita.  I topped it off with a few slices of roasted garlic and knew that it was a piece of perfection sent from heaven.

It was so good that I decided that it was worthy of a photoshoot.  

Commence the photos!!

Sometimes I just don't feel like making my food.  That is where Sabra steps in!  

Just add some Olive Oil and your topping of choice to give it your own personal touch.

What do you like to eat with your hummus?

Que te vaya bien!

Guacammus (Guacamole Hummus)

Guacamole and hummus are my two most favorite dips/spreads of all time.  The other day I was about to make some hummus when I remembered my very ripe avocado in the fridge.  Suddenly a thought dawned on me:
 "What happens if I put my avocado in my hummus?"

I quickly found the answer. Pure majesty.

Do you have any favorite hummus flavors??

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Hola a todos! I am back from a long hiatus in the dark dungeons of my university. This semester has been the busiest one yet and it has taken up a lot of my time, which is why I have not been posting.  Also, I have been pretty broke so honestly you don't want to know what I've been eating.  Just kidding, I haven't been eating that bad, just nothing fancy.  Mainly beans, rice, and pasta.  Basically all of the recipes that I have already posted.  

Anyways, the past few days I have been making some interesting things and their recipes are in the shop-the photoshop that is. Ha ha. I'm so punny! Don't judge me too hard, exams are here and I'm starting to lose my sanity.

So today's recipe is something simple. A smoothie!

I've been keeping frozen strawberries and bananas in my fridge so that I have them on hand for such necessities as this.

I usually use about a cup of soy milk, a handful of frozen strawberries, and half of a frozen banana... but you may be different.  So the cost is +/- $1.00 depending on your preference.

Purple Delicious Smoothies

Since I am struggling to stay on top of my workload for school, this post will be short and sweet (literally).

      Purple is one of my absolute favorite colors, so it is very appropriate that my smoothies usually end up being that color as well!  Typical ingredients in my smoothies are soy milk, apple juice, frozen fruit, agave nectar, walnuts or almonds, and cinnamon.

Both delicious AND heart healthy!

      Smoothies are a great way to add something sweet to your day.  They are also a great snack because they are full of vitamins and protein from the fruit and nuts!  They help boost my energy when I need some, or relax me when I'm stressed.  I make a smoothie at least every other day for all of these reasons and because I really just LOVE them :)

Homemade Hummus

      Hummus is naturally vegan (except for in the rare case that yogurt is added, this is something you may want to keep in mind). It is also absolutely delicious, good for you, and all around fun to eat. It is also very expensive when bought from the store.

      As the main goal of this blog is to help you learn how to eat healthy with a healthy budget, I stress the importance of making your own food.  Buying the ingredients may seem like a big chunk of money, but it will last much longer than going out to eat (especially if you are eating vegan, those restaurants tend to be pretty pricey).

      Also, homemade hummus will be much healthier than store-bought hummus due to the lack of preservatives and extra sweeteners that the producers tend to add.

Anyways, here is my recipe!

1. Simply combine the above ingredients in a food processor or blender, add either a little bit of water or liquid from the can of chickpeas, and blend it all together.
2. Taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
3. Enjoy with pita chips, carrots, broccoli, or any other kind of vegetable or bread!
