Lime, Chilli & Coriander Hummus

So I have no officially started my Yoga Sports Science course, well I am doing the admin involved at the beginning but it is taking up a lot of my time. I have already bought one of the recommended books and started reading that so my post is a bit of a quick one today.

The recipe today is one that is fitting in with my series of dips because I eat so many of them and they are so much fun to make and see what I can come up with. This one is just a bit of a twist on the regular hummus but tastes amazing. It is so good in fact that my cousin who claims to not like coriander tucked in and loved it so that was a big winner.

If you are tired of the regular old hummus but still want to get a big dose of the wonderfully healthy chickpea then this dip might be the perfect solution for you. It is fresh and clean from the mint with just a hint of spice from the chilli and I absolutely love coriander so just shoved a big handful in this dip.

One of the best things about this dip is it is perfect for people sticking to a low glycemic diet. A portion of this dip has a GL of only 5 meaning that you can eat a serving with a few veggie sticks and you have yourself the perfect snack to keep you going all afternoon, what else could you want!

As mentioned above this is a low GL recipe and the fact that it contains chickpeas brings all sorts of health benefits but I will save that for when I have time to go into chickpeas in detail.
