NUTRITION // x NÄRING COLLECTIVE - Hummus Recipe

For 2017, Cass (co-founder of näring collective) resolved to make her own hummus because she eats so much of it. Making it at home not only decreases the amount of plastic waste being added to the landfill from the containers, but it also reduces the amount of food additives being ingested!

Watch the video below for the recipe, which is also outlined below.

My favorite is snacking on hummus in between meals, add it to salad dressings, and use it as as a spread on sandwiches, burritos, and burgers.
