Simple Garlic Hummus

I eat hummus daily for lunch. When I get super busy, I have to admit I'm guilty of just buying some from the store, but lately since making homemade hummus more often, if I have to resort back to the store bought one, I am miserable at lunch and feel nauseated from how gross it tastes in comparison.

This is my simple garlic hummus recipe that I have been using this summer that last me the entire work week. I like to eat it with crackers, or some days just dip some cucumbers and carrots in.

Recipe:

19 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1-2 cloves of garlic (depending on how garlicky you want your breath at work. Maybe you want to keep annoying patients or clients away ;))

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tbsp tahini

1/2-1 tsp salt

The juice from one lemon

Lemon zest

2 tbsp water

1/2 tsp paprika

Steps:

1. Stick it all in a food processor or blender until its smooth and enjoy!

Simple!

Oatmeal To-Go!

I love to eat oatmeal in the morning, it's one of the only foods that keep me going until lunch. Sometimes I don't have the time to make it in the morning, so I decided to try making some baked oatmeal banana muffins. They are perfect to grab on the go in the morning. 

Ingredients: 

3 ripe bananas 

1 egg 

1 cup coconut milk 

1/4 cup maple syrup 

3 cups oats 

1 tsp baking powder 

Chia seeds 

Directions: 

Blend all wet ingredients in the blender, add to dry ingredients. Let the combination sit for 20-30 minutes. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy!
