Hummus is one of my favorite snack options with low-fat crackers, pretzels, and veggies. The problem I find too often is the amount of fat in most recipes. Therefore, I was ecstatic when I found this recipe.

 I can’t take the credit, though; this awesome recipe is from the book, The Engine 2 Diet, written by Rip Esselstyn. I have several of  Rip’s books, and every single recipe I have tried is yummy.

For Fat-Free Hummus, You Will Need These 5 Ingredients:

• chickpeas
  
• minced garlic
  
• fresh or bottled lemon juice
  
• Bragg Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce. Bragg Coconut Aminos or Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos for soy and corn-free diets.
  
• water or vegetable broth (I use water)

For weight watcher points, this entire recipe has 11 points. Divide as you like to figure out the points for your serving. I would probably have about 1/4 cup for a serving.

 ** If you feel it’s not creamy enough and not worried about fat content, feel free to add some olive oil. I would add 1/2 – 1 tablespoon to start. Naturally, this would alter WW points.
**Another option is to add some of the liquid from the can of garbanzo beans. I personally have not tried this myself.

Dump everything into the food processor and give it a few spins.

And it’s ready for veggies, crackers, chips, or a sandwich.
