Beet Hummus

With the Big Game, just a few days away you are probably preparing your game day menu at some point today if you haven't already. Well a dip is always an essential game watching item. This year, I recommend you try something different but with a healthier twist. The boys may steer clear of this dish but the women sitting on the sidelines will enjoy this figure friendly recipe. Today I'm sharing my recipe for Beet Hummus. I love hummus! I probably eat it a couple times a week. This time I switched up my hummus recipe by adding beets. Beets are filled with vitamins and nutrients. You can't go wrong by serving this dip with pita bread or veggies.
