Black Bean Hummus Recipe

By

This black bean hummus is perfect for parties, get-togethers or even just a movie snack at home by yourself.

I took a nutrition class a few weeks back and learned a lot about eating to manage my blood sugars. One of the things that is really important is, getting enough fiber. This is important for ALL of us, but especially when you have blood sugar issues like I do.

A decorative mug sits filled with this Black Bean Hummus. Fresh cilantro is sprinkled over the top and a fresh bunch of cilantro is laying behind the mug.

HOW MUCH FIBER DO BLACK BEANS HAVE?
Few beans have as much fiber as black beans do. A whopping 15 grams per cup! Only pinto beans and navy beans come in higher with 15.4 grams and 19.2 grams, respectively.

Black beans also give you a good dose of iron and magnesium as well a plant-based protein at 15.2 grams. If you are plant-based and want to create a complete protein here, just add a side of rice!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
