Healthy Points About Hummus


Protein, Protein, and More Protein
Hummus is typically made from chickpeas and they filled with tons of plant-based proteins which can be very good for you. Not only can they give you energy, but this dish is delicious and don't just take our word for it, come on into the Greek Kitchen and see for yourself. OPA!

A Good Dose of Fiber
So we know that fiber can be good for digestion, but did you know that there is quite a bit of fiber in hummus? Oh, yea! Not only can you enjoy the taste of this delicious treat, but you can also get your daily dose of fiber while you do so.

Good for Weight Loss
Trying to lose weight? Who isn't? It's summer. Hummus can be a great addition to your weight loss strategy. It's light and can be mouth-watering.



Adds Well to Other Foods You May Already Be Eating
While we serve hummus with pita, hummus can go with many things, such as in a wrap, with vegetables as a dipping sauce, on a sandwich, in a vegetable bowl, etc. The possibilities are endless! This is good because when you are trying to lose weight it can be good to have some variety in your diet. If you are constantly eating the same thing, you can get bored with it, give up, and go back to your old ways and eating something unhealthy.


We hope you enjoyed these healthy points about hummus.
