I luuuuvvvv Hummus, It is an okay source of protein. Peanut butter or
beans have more. But hey, it is a nice change!

I love hummus, and as someone with zero appetite, I take what I can get ;)
bring on the chickpeas. They have protein and fiber - two things we can all
use post-op!

I have practically been living on hummus! I love it! I usually can't eat
more than a tablespoon or two, but it makes a fabulous lunch for me. Higher
in protein, low in carbs, and mushy! It's everything a post-op could ask
for!!!
