Guess what happens when you add a beet to your homemade hummus?

You get this delicious Beet Hummus.

Homemade hummus is a staple in my house and I love mixing up the flavors and colors! This gorgeous blend of beets and garbanzos is super simple and elegant – and it makes for the perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast toast. Or birthday toast. Or Anniversary toast. Pretty much any occasion where love is involved, this beet hummus toast will do!

Let’s talk about beets for a moment, shall we? They’re such versatile veggies! You can eat them raw or cooked (shredded beets are the best, as is a freshly juiced beet); you can roast them, bake them, boil them, grill them — even microwave them, if you prefer. You can eat them warm or cold – they are just as amazing in smoothies and salads as they are on a tray of roasted veggies.

Beets are also super nutrient-rich. They are true superfoods, loaded with antioxidants, potassium, folate, fiber and Vitamin C.  They’re also high in nitrates, which help to lower your blood pressure, making them great for heart health. Nitrates enhance athletic performance by improving oxygen use and time to exhaustion, so they’re great for athletes, too!

But hey, don’t limit yourself to just toast. This hummus would be amazing with cut up veggies, pita bread or chips, or tossed with pasta!

Bottom line: this beet hummus is not just a pretty face. It’s a powerful health-promoting bowl of deliciousness. It’s also super creamy and full of flavor. And it’s pink. So there’s that.

Here’s how to make it, in less than 5 minutes:

Food Confidence begins with
          confidence.

You might have an idea of what “healthy” looks like— but have you ever thought about what it looks like for you? Not for your friends, not for women on Instagram, not for anyone you’ve been measuring yourself against.
  It’s time to find out.
