Not only can this spiced hummus crush your hunger, but it is also a lean mean fat-burning machine!

Can you believe this easy homemade hummus can be whipped up in just 5 quick minutes?  

There are many key ingredients in this spiced hummus that contributes to its fat-burning prowess:

Chickpeas: a high fiber food that helps us to feel full for a longer period of time without consuming a lot of extra calories.  It is also high in protein which is weight loss-friendly.

Cumin: a warming spice that can increase heat throughout the body and boost metabolism.  Cumin health benefits extend beyond weight loss to increasing your energy, strengthening your immune system, and even preventing nighttime bathroom runs!

Coriander: promotes gut healing and digestive health – a key step to optimizing your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Red pepper flakes: the capsaicin in red pepper is known to boost metabolism, causing the body to produce extra heat and burn more calories for fuel.  Consuming red pepper can also curb your appetite and reduce your hunger.

Garlic: a detoxifying herb that has been used in cultures around the world for thousands of years.  The sulfur compounds in garlic may potentially protect against organ damage from heavy metal toxicity.

Where to Shop for Spiced Hummus Ingredients?

I bought most of this recipe’s clean eating ingredients from Thrive Market.

If you’ve ever visited a Costco, Thrive Market operates on a similar model where you can find groceries at wholesale prices with a membership, except it’s online and sells quality healthy, organic, and clean eating non-perishable groceries delivered conveniently right to your door.

Thrive Market is very much like Costco (grocery at wholesale prices with membership) except it’s online and sells organic and clean non-perishable groceries like this almond milk with ONLY 4 real food ingredients and MCT oil derived from coconuts, conveniently delivered to your door.
