I’ve always loved hummus. I also enjoy hearty portions of the things I like to eat—so thanks to the hefty use of fattening ingredients, I’ve had a quasi-distant relationship with it. Until now!
Between the olive oil and tahini, the calories in this stuff can add up fast. On average, two tablespoons can pack 60-90 calories. And who stops at two tablespoons? Not this girl.
Cedar’s fat free hummus is only 25 per serving, so devouring it doesn’t cast a dark cloud over my dieting soul.
I tested the roasted red pepper variety and the first thing I noticed was a slight vinegary taste—which is awesome. I’ve been known to open up my cupboards just to get a sweet, sweet whiff of the apple cider vinegar inside.
So if you’re a vinegar fan, go for it! If you’re not, maybe I’m just a little too enthusiastic about that part so it sticks out in my memory, but you might not even notice it.
Besides the slightly sour undertone, it’s right on par with your average hummus. Creamy, flavorful and carrot’s favorite friend.
Either way, for just 25 cals, I say give it a shot! But be warned, it’s a tough product to come by. I found this at Whole Foods, but haven’t seen it elsewhere.
If you try it, I’d love to hear your own take on it.
Happy snacking!
