PINK BEET HUMMUS

VERSION EN ESPANOL ABAJO

​When I was a little girl I used to hate beetroots because there was this aweful dish in kindergarten that they made us eat and I absolutely did not like it. However the older I become the more adventurous I get in the kitchen and since I know beets have lots of health benefits I decided to reintroduce this powerful food back into my diet.

Beetroots can help lower blood pressure, boost stamina, have anti-cancer properties, support the liver and are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre. Just know that it is also the vegetable with the highest sugar content so if you have problems with sugar you might have to go easy on the beets. 
But don't worry the recipe that I am sharing today only includes a little bit of beet which is totally sufficient for the strong pink color and does not at all spike blood sugar thanks to all the other amazing nutrient-dense ingredients in this pink hummus.

This recipe is:
very pink
rich in protein
high in fibre
vegan
gluten-free
healthy
creamy
delicious
