Roasted Beet Hummus

"It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves." 

-Andre Gide

Hi Guys, Hope you had a great weekend. 

 The only negative thing that happened to me when I became vegan is, I became anemic. Anemia is when you have an unusually low supply of red blood cells in your body, sometimes caused by iron deficiency. 

Although I do take a iron supplement every night I try to get as much iron as possible from the food I eat. The common misconception is that iron only comes from red meat but that just isn't true. You can get it from soybeans, spinach, lentils, tofu, nuts, pumpkin seeds, and more. But... just today I found out chickpeas are super rich in iron so obviously the first thing I do is make a hummus. 

This hummus is really easy and tastes amazing with tons of flavour (secret ingredient is the apple cider vinegar) 

What are your favourite chickpea recipes?
