Beet Hummus

This is one of the dishes we will be eating in the Summer Nourishing Foods Cleanse coming up August 1-5, 2016.

I love beets because they taste great and they’re extremely healthy for you. They are loaded with vitamins A, B and C, also high in fiber, manganese, folate and are a rare source of phytonutrients called betalains, which have been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification qualities. For the best flavor choose small firm beets.

This delicious chickpea-free beet hummus is simple to make, super creamy and 100% paleo and vegan.
