White Bean Hummus Pitas

White Bean Hummus Pitas
Recipe Tip
Fiber Up With Beans
Cannellini beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber.

Great for a light dinner
I made this and the hummus taste just like what you get in good middle eastern places, my only modification is that i added a little avocado to the pitas it was great

hummus
In Israel we use chickpeas for making Hummus, we are lucky enough to be able to buy the chickpeas frozen and easy to prepare the dish. could you please advise if the amount of fiber is as much as in the beans? Thanking you for any advice,
