Happy Friday guys! A couple weeks ago I shared an exclusive recipe from the Winter edition of the NS Society, the Energy Almond Butter Balls, but I couldn’t help it – I just had to share one more! Today’s recipe is Beet Hummus, one of my favorite snacks because it’s versatile – seriously dip almost anything in it, put it on top of a salad, add it to a sandwich, the list goes on – but it’s also delicious and ridiculously easy. I love making a big bowl on Sunday during batch cooking and having a healthy snack ready to go when hunger strikes in between meals. If you ever find yourself reaching for a sugar filled snack or even hitting the vending machine when you need a little something in between meals, try this recipe out! Oh, and smeared on the Grain Free Walnut Bread is sublime. If you enjoy it and want even more recipes to make ahead of time for the entire week, sign up for The NS Society, a space to get simple meal plans, healthy recipes, and wellness guides so you can find a balanced wellbeing and connect with others.
You’re new fav. healthy snack- Beet Hummus!
