    Black Bean Hummus with Avocado

    I'm a natural born snacker.

    I just love having something to crunch or dip or chew or suck on when I'm doing tedious tasks. If I had it my way (and the perfect butt, guns, and overall health to make it alright) my snack of choice would be cheese popcorn or mozzarella sticks or fried zucchini and some super chewy and thick chocolate chip cookies with walnuts instead of chocolate chips. <-- I know it's weird.

    But we're not in a perfect world and if I snacked on those things at will, my life would be hard. So instead, I eat hummus. I love that I can dip almost anything in it and have it taste good. I also love that it's full of protein so it actually fills me up!

     But, Black Bean Hummus?

    Yep! I decided to mix things up from my usual recipe  this time and use black beans instead of chickpeas, cut out the olive oil and make it creamy with an avocado. The result? My favorite hummus ever.

      This looks SO good! Hummus is my husband's favorite snack (mine too), so we'll have to try this out and mix it up a bit.

      I can relate to that natural born snack business! I feel like I eat all day long, and I have a minor panic attack whenever I head to work and realize I only packed 1 snack for the whole entire day! HA! I have a problem.... But, I love this! I am definitely going to try using avocado instead of olive oil! I LOVE that idea! 🙂
