30 Day Fitness Challenge Day 3 (make your own hummus)

Craving a late night snack?

If you're like most people you make a dash for a delicious bowl of your favorite ice cream or perhaps your favorite bag of chips and dip when your having one of those late night snack attacks.

The good news is that late night snacks don't always have to be a bad thing or leave you feeling guilty. Eating late may not always be the best choice, but when you do have one of those late night cravings, some foods are better choices than others.

My late night snack of choice today was homemade hummus... and my was it tasty!

Hummus is a spread or dip orginated in the middle east that's made with a base of chickpeas and olive oil. There are many different ways to prepare it.

(see the ingredients below on what I used to make mine) Hummus has some amazing health benefits:

1. It's low in calories

2. It's easy to make

3. It's very filling

Here are the ingredients:

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans 

1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste) 
6 tablespoons lemon juice 
3 garlic cloves, pressed 
1 teaspoon ground cumin 
salt and pepper 

Check out this website for instructions on  how to make it.
