Let’s make hummus from scratch, because:
1. It’s super easy to make! – To make regular hummus you need only 4 ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and fresh lemon (I always add salt, cumin and garlic).
2. It’s super delicious! – The poblano peppers also add a ton of flavor, antioxidants and vitamins, with a very little impact on calories.
3. It’s super healthy! – It has almost 50 gr of protein! without the unwanted ingredients that come with it when you buy it in the store. So!
Here we go:
Ingredients with their approximate protein breakdown:
2/3 Poblano Peppers ~0.8 g protein
400 gr Chickpeas ~36 g protein
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon (squeezed) ~0.4 g protein
1 clove Garlic ~0.2 g protein
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cumin ~0.4 g protein
1/4 cup Tahini ~10 g protein
Estimated total protein:
≈ 48 g protein
Notes*
-Most of the protein here comes from chickpeas and tahini.
-You can add tofu for an even more protein.
-Poblanos are especially high in vitamin C, supplying around 70 milligrams (about three-quarters of the recommended daily intake), and they also contain vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, iron, and magnesium. They also add a ton of flavor, antioxidants, and vitamins to meals with very little impact on calories.
Directions: (this is how easy it is)
1. PREHEAT YOUR OVEN ON 400 f.
2. BAKE 2 OR 3 POBLANO PEPPERS FOR 1 hr. (flip them on the other side after 30 min)
3. TAKE OUT THE SEEDS AND THE STALK.
4. BLEND EVERYTHING.
5. ENJOY.
