🚨🚨 HEALTHY DESSERT ALERT 🚨🚨

[NoMonkeyBusiness]

It sounds like it’d be gross and I was very weary at first. BUT ITS UHHHHMAZING!! Tastes just like brownie batter really. Typically, I dip strawberries or cherries in it.

I know you’re curious about nutrition facts, right?! Well... in 2Tbsp. It’s got 80 calories, 4.5g total fat, 10g carbs, 3g fiber, and 6g total sugars! Finally something you don’t have to feel guilty eating and can enjoy!

Hi NMB, what an interesting combination and its gluten free! And the thought of hummus chocolate brownies really appeals to me...😊

Hi NoMonkeyBusiness

That looks like an interesting product.

Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

This sounds interesting. Is I a US product? Does it have any added sugar, or is it all naturally occurring?

[NoMonkeyBusiness in reply to Cooper27]

It is a US product. The facts just state total sugars 6g (including added sugars). I’d have to look at the ingredients later.

I could be wrong but I think 2tbsp is about 25 grams. That makes it very high in carbs fat sugar and calories.

I normally work out things per 100 grams..so its times four to what you put on.

[NoMonkeyBusiness in reply to Hidden]

It’s chic peas so yea, veggie wise it has some carbs 10g per serving as mentioned in my post.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to NoMonkeyBusiness]

Depending on flavor and brand of hummus, the carbs. can vary (regular/classic has 4 grams of total carbs.).

[Hidden in reply to NoMonkeyBusiness]

Yes chickpeas, sugar, sunflower oil, salt cocoa powder, aquafada, vanilla extract ..I think tahini and maple syrup.

I was only trying to point out that even though two table spoons is what they consider to be a serving, the percentage of that serving is very high in fat, sugars, carbs and calories.

I think it's just clever marketing..some cocoa powder and nice packaging.

Searched for INGREDIENTS of Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus from ‘Boar’s Head’ ( google.com/search?as_q=Dark... ):

. . . • Boar’s Head ( boarshead.com/products/humm... ) lists: ”…chickpeas infused with rich cocoa, organic sugar and vanilla …“

. . . • Fooducate( fooducate.com/product/Boar%... ) lists: "Steamed chickpeas Organic sugar Water Sunflower oil Cocoa powder Vanilla extract Sea salt Nisin"

.

Curious about ‘Nisin’, so looked up ( google.com/search?as_q=Nisi... ). Wikipedia ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisin ) defines it as: "Nisin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis that is used as a food preservative. … In the food industry, nisin is obtained from the culturing of L. lactis on natural substrates, such as milk or dextrose, and it is not chemically synthesized. It was originally isolated in the late 1930s, and produced since the 1950s as Nisaplin from naturally occurring sources by Aplin and Barrett in laboratories in Beaminster in Dorset, and approved as an additive for food use in the USA in the late 1960s, although the Beaminster factory now is owned by DuPont. … Nisin is used in processed cheese, meats, beverages, etc. during production to extend shelf life by suppressing Gram-positive spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. … " 🤔 💭

Hmm 🤔💭 . . . Think some of us can ingest foods that includes each ingredient: chickpeas, sugar, sunflower oil 🌻💧, cocoa, vanilla, salt 🧂 & Nisin (& some of us can’t.) [Chocolate🍫 , after all, is the base of the food pyramid 🔺 . . . 😋 ☺️ (at least in my book 📖 — not necessarily day-to-day practical living ☺️ 😁 🙃 ). And, hummus IS the very next layer of the food pyramid 🔺! . . . 😋 The 2 combined 🔀 has to be a winning combination!! 🏆 🤗 ]

Thank you for sharing this new ‘healthy dessert’ idea, 🚫 🐵 Business! ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

[If making homemade 👨‍🍳 hummus , maybe we can experiment 👩‍🔬 with adding cocoa powder (and/or carob powder), vanilla, & maybe some type of sweetener (like a date sugar/ paste, honey, maple syrup… & leaving out ingredients we can’t safely ingest? 🤔 💭 . . . . . . 😋 😋 😋 ]
