Hummus and chocolate? (This isn't some dodgy sugar-laced, palm oil filled chocolate sauce or road-side food stall recipe)
It's a tasty and healthy snack designed to improved one's mood, promote heart health, and provide fibre for good gut-health. It's an excellent accompaniment to a fibre and protein-rich breakfast to stabilize your serum-glucose levels too.
Get ready to level up your snack game with this super cool hummus toast! It’s not just delicious; it’s packed with health benefits that your body will love.
First up, the base of my hummus is made from chickpeas and tahini. These ingredients are like superheroes for your body because they’re loaded with protein and fiber, which help keep you full and energized for all your activities—whether it’s school, sports, or hanging out with friends.
Now, let’s talk about the chocolatey twist! I’ve added raw cacao powder and raw cacao paste, which give this hummus a rich flavor while also packing in antioxidants. These are great for your heart and can even boost your mood—who doesn’t want that?
For a touch of sweetness, I used forest honey. It’s way healthier than regular sugar and has some cool antibacterial properties too. Plus, creamy cashew nut paste adds healthy fats that help your brain stay sharp.
Don’t forget the crunchy toppings! Freshly ground flaxseeds are loaded with omega-3s, which are awesome for fighting inflammation, and pumpkin seeds bring in essential minerals like magnesium and zinc—perfect for keeping you strong and healthy.
Spread this yummy hummus on your favorite toasted bread, and you’ve got a snack that’s not only tasty but also super good for you! Whether you munch on it for breakfast or as an after-school treat, this hummus toast will keep you feeling great all day long!
