A Healthier Spin on Dessert…

Posted on February 24, 2021January 2, 2022 by Jen

Easy Chocolate Hummus


I have to admit when I first came across chocolate hummus at the store, I thought it sounded revolting. I decided to purchase it anyway because; hey it’s chocolate how bad could it be? Thankfully, my willingness to try a new product paid off and I loved it.

There are lots of variations of chocolate hummus recipes. Below is the recipe I like to make at home for my family that is kid tested and approved. This is a super easy weeknight dessert and a great option for school lunches.  The kids believe they are eating a decadent chocolate dessert and I am happy they are eating garbanzo beans and fruit!

Chocolate hummus pairs well with fresh fruit, graham crackers, cookies, bagels, pita chips, or pretzels!

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
