Low Calorie Snack Alert!

While grocery shopping lastnight I was checking the back of every item I could to find a low calorie snack option that would satisfy me. I looked at my favorite hummus dips but found that they were upwards of 120 calories per 2 Tbsp. So I put all of them back. It just seems insane to me to waste that many calories on something so tiny regardless of how 'healthful' it is. So while in the fresh produce section (near the Tofu items) I found this gem. It's called Super Hummus and it's put out by nasoya. It is LOADED with Protein and is very low calorie compared to it's cousins over by the cheeses. I was able to eat 2 Tbsp of this hummus with a whole wheat tortilla and it was only 190 calories. Holy Hummus, Batman! Nom. And paired with, say, carrots or other veggies it would be even fewer. It's made with soybeans rather than the usual chickpeas and has minimal oils in it. I highly reccomend. Yum!!
