Avocado Hummus with Fresh Crudite’ Bowl

REAL FOOD ROCKS!  #Cancerhatesit when we live in full color.  So it wants to part of this bowl of food.  Avocado Hummus with Fresh Crudite’ Bowl is fancy and yummy!  I serve mine over ice, so everything stays crisp and fantastic.  

#CANCERHATES IT BECAUSE…

When we eat chickpeas, the base ingredient of hummus, we are getting amazing amounts of fiber, zinc, copper, and iron.  These are all immune boosting nutrients that create a balanced environment in our bodies.  Igniting a  chain reaction of events that are protective to our hearts, our digestive systems, our cellular structure, and our immune functions.  That is just the chickpeas!  Add the monounsaturated fat from the avocados and we have an aid for maximum absorption of the alpha and beta carotene which are in most of these raw veggies.  Shall I continue?  😉
