Quick Healthy Snack!

A chick pea (aka garbanzo bean) is a 7,500 year old  bean that is an excellent source of protein and fiber. Chick peas are the base / primary ingredient for hummus.  Mixed with garlic and olive oil it becomes not only a benefit to your heart, but also for your brain. Hummus is one of my favorite go-to snacks because it is not only healthy (especially used as a dipping for veggies) but, inexpensive to purchase or make as well as a quick & easy snack for myself and my family.
