BLENDER BABES RECIPE TESTER NOTES
“Loooooooooved the flavor of the peppers” and “Tried adding cilantro, about 1/4-1/2 cup put in and blend on lowest setting for 10 seconds. Fabulous!!” and “It’s like a mexican or southwest version of hummus.
Nice green chili tasting hummus with a little bit of a kick.” and “This was very flavorful with just a hint of heat.
The level of heat will vary depending upon the peppers. My husband and I both enjoyed it and the leftovers were gone within a couple days since we kept pulling it out as a snack.”

Garbanzo beans, also called chickpeas, are used in many traditional dishes across the Middle East and East.
These beans are full of protein, fiber and are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
They are versatile and can be cooked in several ways.
High in fiber. Garbanzo beans contain dietary fiber, which helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and reduces blood pressure.
Promotes digestive health.
The dietary fiber in garbanzo beans also works to increase the weight and size of your stool and soften it.
