I LOVE bagels with cream cheese... however, there are two problems with this statement. First, I am not allowed to eat cheese products. Second, cream cheese lacks any and all nutritional value. This being said, I decided to try out something new this morning...
Breakfast Hummus
1- 16 oz can of garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1/3 cup sesame tahini
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
Blend it all up in the blender or food processor until it is smooth. Spread it on bagels, or use it for a side with toast, french toast, waffles, or pancakes.
I was surprised! It turned out great... if it tastes too beany, keep adding honey and cinnamon. Cinnamon is very potent, and should work well to counteract the bean taste. Now your bagel is actually a well-balanced breakfast! The protein in the garbanzo beans and the tahini is much more beneficial than the empty calories of cream cheese.
