Red Pepper Hummus

Did you know that bell peppers, including red peppers, contain an amazing amount of vitamin C, sometimes up to six times more than an orange?

Bell peppers are also very high in vitamin A and beta carotene, which can help to improve vision, boost the immune system, and protect the eyes against cataracts. Dipping yellow and orange bell peppers into this red-peppery goodness is an amazing way to enjoy this treat!

**IMPORTANT** Did you know that green bell peppers are unripe and should not be eaten? Sometimes, something is so normal that it’s shocking to find out it’s not good for us. But now you know – stick to the bright and colorful bell peppers to protect your digestive system and benefit from eating these healing fruits.

Bell peppers are also helpful for weight loss, as they can curb your appetite while providing glucose and plenty of nutrition to fuel you through the day.

Chickpeas are a wonderful carbohydrate and mineral-rich food that many cuisines worldwide incorporate, and enjoying them in hummus with no added oil or tahini is a wonderful and healthful option. Due to the effects of fats, oil, nut, and seed-rich hummus options reduce blood oxygen levels and cause the liver to work harder during digestion.

Chickpeas are higher in fats than many other plant foods, and you may want to consider avoiding them if you have very challenging chronic symptoms or have come down with a cold, flu, virus, or other bug. Otherwise, feel free to enjoy this delicious and healing meal option that will be a hit with anyone who tries it!

To your health and happiness,
