Hummus?

Is this a good protein for after surgery? And would that be a soft food for me to eat when eating soft foods? im getting my mind in gear for the upcoming surgery lol.

Oh I hope so I love Hummus!

I asked the nut about hummus once, she said it's sorta like peanut butter.  It may have a little protein, but comes along with a lot of fat (usually olive oil).  But a little bit for flavor is probably ok.

You can make your own lowfat version very easily: 2 cans barbanzo beans (chick peas) drained 3 cloves of garlic (or to taste) 3Tbsp Tahini (sesame paste) 2 Tbsp lemon juice 1 Hernandez jalapeno pepper (from a can) small handful of fresh cilantro 1/4 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp salt (to taste) 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup skim milk Put all ingredients EXCEPT milk into blender or food processor and pulse.  Stream mil****il desired consistency is reached (like refried bean consistency). Enjoy! I've used this recipe and it is really good and much lower fat than anything you will find at the store.
