Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

By barbsjustagirl

Vitamix recipe

This hummus comes with great color, incredible taste and is low in fat. The red pepper provides as much vitamin C as two whole oranges and garbanzo beans and garlic team up to steady blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and slash the risk of cancer and heart disease. Worthy of a toast, to be sure!
