Black Bean Hummus is one of my favorite Daniel Fast recipes. Plus, it’s easy to make and costs a fraction of what prepared hummus costs in the grocery store or deli. A great feature of this recipe is that no oil is required! That’s a huge calorie cutter and cost cutting benefit.
I like to cut up a bunch of colorful and crunchy vegetables, including carrots, celery,jicama, green and red bell peppers, and cucumber. I arrange them on a platter and then serve with the black bean hummus. I can almost hear the cheers my body is declaring as I feed it such nourishing good!
