Dessert hummus with fruit
Just like savory hummus, the sweeter variety is made with protein- and fiber-rich chickpeas that’ll fill you up for the long haul. Make your own dessert hummus by pureeing chickpeas with vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a touch of maple syrup for some natural sweetness. You can also pick one up at the store as a dip for fresh strawberries. Just be sure to avoid those with high amounts of added sugar–and stick to the serving size.
Guacamole with jicama
Good news, guac lovers: Avocado eaters weigh less and have lower body mass indexes compared to people who steer clear of the green fruit, according to a sponsored study from Nutrition Journal. Avocados can also improve gut health because of their unsaturated fatty acid content, which prompt greater microbial diversity and produce metabolites that support your gut bacteria. Enjoy the dip with jicama instead of the usual chips. A 1-cup serving of the sliced veggie has 6 g of belly-filling fiber and just 46 calories. Try this go-to guac recipe for your next hosting gig!
