great snacks


These snacks are very easy and quick to make and it's very good for you. Broccoli is a wonderful vegetable. I think it's disgusting when they put lots of cream and butter in broccoli soup. Broccoli soup should be simple and delicious.

Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Broccoli's health benefits include -- protects against cancer, help optimize cells' detoxification ability, support stomach health, help sun-damaged skin, help reduce the risk of heart disease, prevents cataract, help build strong bones, an immune system booster and a birth defect fighter.

Hummus is a classic Middle Eastern chickpea (garbanzos) dip is flavoured with garlic, tahini, olive oil and some lemon juice. It is delicious served with some pita bread or crudités.

Chickpea (garbanzos) are a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, garbanzos' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.
