Black Bean Hummus

Black bean hummus is the perfect vegan, gluten-free dip for a summer afternoon snack. It can be paired with chopped veggies, tortilla chips, or pita bread, and even used as a sandwich spread, salad dressing, or a spread in your burrito. Black beans are a great source of dietary fiber, protein, and folate. The high fiber content will promote a smooth digestive tract as a “bulking agent” and increase satiety and fullness after meals. It is also associated with reducing blood sugar spikes after a meal, especially when eaten after rice. Black beans also contain quercetin and saponins which may have protective effects for a healthy heart by lowering blood lipid and blood cholesterol levels. It is also naturally low in sodium while containing potassium and calcium, which play a role in reducing blood pressure. This is a delicious addition to your snacks or meals while reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease, while increasing your overall nutrient intake.
