Mung Bean Hummus
It is an easier-to-digest alternative to chickpea hummus, super yummy, creamy and easy on the tummy! As a good source of plant protein, you can enjoy as breakfast, like I did, on grilled or baked sweet potatoes or on a piece of wholegrain bread (my favorite is einkorn). At lunch, it can accompany baked or steamed vegetables, and again with a small portion of wholegrain bread or sweet potato, you can have a complete, plant-based meal.
