Hummus Shake "Light"Version /mums/dads

One reason I love smoothies and am so passionate about promoting them is that you can pack in loads of healthy nutrients. They are also very easy to make especially convenient for busy mums and ideal for on the go. 

What I really love about hummus shakes is that they are so"creamy" and smooth. 

(Serves 1)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned is fine)
• 1 Tablespoon pure tahini
• 1 large banana or frozen banana
• 1 teaspoon honey or date syrup or maple syrup
• ½ tsp or a pinch of cinnamon / nut meg / mixed spice
• a drop of pure vanilla

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Pour in a cup and enjoy!

 
Tip: Frozen chickpeas can be used. They are usually in packs of 1 kg. Boil about 3 cups at a time and store them in the fridge for easy access. They are very convenient, because they only need about 15 to 20 minutes of boiling.

Variation: Apple or pear is a great substitute instead of banana. You can also turn it into a chocolate shake by adding a tablespoon of cacao. ​
