Hummus From Leftovers
This recipe makes a delightfully simple, creamy and bright low carb hummus. Taste-testers agreed: it tasted like chickpea hummus. It’s the real deal.
Raw macadamia hummus may also be made with pulp left over from making nut milk.
Use nut pulp from almonds, Brazil nuts, macadamias, cashews, hazelnuts, or sunflower, sesame or pumpkin seeds – all work well with this base recipe.
Try adding leftover roasted veggies and spices from a prior meal.

Keto Plan for Women
If you’re looking for a body-changing meal plan, The Keto Beginning works with your hormones, sliding you into fat-burning mode without going super low carb.
Keto authority, Leanne Vogel created a program that’s particularly good if you need to break a diet stall, but don’t want a drastic decrease in daily carbs.
Special Ingredients
Organic coconut oil burns fat rapidly. Fats from coconut oil aren’t stored. Instead, they’re used immediately for energy.
Coconut oil stays fresh up to two years, has a nice buttery flavor, and is one of the healthiest choices for cooking or baking.
Left Coast’s pure MCT oil converts into energy faster than other oils, ignites your body’s metabolic rate and helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol.
Triple filtered, pharmaceutical grade and USA-made.
