We received free coupons in exchange for writing a review about Tribe All Natural Hummus but that in no way affects my opinion of the product. This is my honest review.
Our family had heard of hummus and even seen it, but we never understood it or knew how to use it until this year. A pitch came across my desk for Tribe All Natural Hummus and in it they mentioned that hummus would be a healthy snack that can help prevent craving attacks during pregnancy due to the high levels of protein it contains. That got my attention!
So while hummus may sound unappealing and even look gross to some, it will provide extra protein an expectant mother needs – remember increasing protein in the first trimester may help keep nausea at bay. Plus the added benefit of staving off cravings because your nutritional needs are being met when you are eating healthy and getting enough protein (and other vitamins and nutrients too in your other meals.)
Tribe offers a variety of flavors in their all natural line – 14 to be exact. Then for all of us who are making the shift towards eating more organic foods, Tribe has an organic line of hummus as well. Vegetarian moms will also want to check this product out because hummus will give them a boost in their protein intake too.
The results from our family’s first taste of hummus? Most of us really took to it. We tried Tribe’s Classic All Natural Hummus, as the Tribe brand was hard to find and not available in all the flavors. We basically ate the whole container in one sitting with a bag of organic tortilla chips! It was really good. We didn’t know that the hummus was made out of beans. The Classic was made from chick peas, but we have since seen another variety made from navy beans, so no wonder it’s a healthy snack! Think about all the fiber too. So we have definitely become hummus eaters and recommend that you give it a try as a healthy alternative to the chip dips out there. A friend also just told us this week that it may be used as a mayo substitute in sandwiches, which we have yet to try, but thought it was a great idea.
