Beet hummus

Don’t know what to do with those cans of chickpeas? This dessert hummus is a fantastic way to add some extra fruit and veggies to your diet. You can’t taste the beets at all, but they do brighten the color! Beets are in season during the fall and are a fantastic source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Use whatever berries you have on hand! You can even swap sunflower seed butter for peanut butter to make it your own!
