Rich with the aroma of fresh thyme and basil, this cannellini bean hummus recipe uses Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar to delicious effect.

The fresh thyme and basil add a fresh and vibrant taste to this hummus. The pureed cannellini beans are creamy white, which together with the green flecks from the fresh herbs, make this hummus pretty to look at… and scrumptious to eat!

Pumpkincredible Hummus

Pumpkincredible Hummus

Pumpkincredible Hummus

A creamy, lightly smoky hummus with the brilliant flavor and color of pumpkin!

This dip recipe is gluten-free and soy-free.

Beans Note: The combination of chickpeas and white beans makes this hummus a little creamier than using just chickpeas alone.

Pumpkin Seeds Note: When I toast nuts and seeds, I do so in larger batches so that I have them ready to use another time. So, consider toasting about a cup or more. To toast pumpkin seeds, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I use my toaster oven and a small baking tray). Bake at 400ºF for several minutes until they turn a golden color and you can smell a nutty aroma. This won’t take long, maybe about 5-7 minutes, possibly longer depending on your oven. Just be sure to watch them after about 6-7 minutes, as they can burn quickly.

This blend-and-eat dip comes together in 15 minutes or less. The vibrant orange color looks fabulous, and the spicy-smoky pumpkin flavors are incredibly comforting and satisfying.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can white beans (cannellini or other), drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin (I use farmer’s market brand)
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 medium-large clove garlic (adjust to taste, use smaller clove for kid-friendly)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon (rounded) allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon (lightly rounded) smoked paprika (if you don’t have smoked paprika, use another ¼ teaspoon cumin – then go out and get yourself some smoked paprika!!)
  • ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds (see note for toasting; reserve about 2-3 tablespoons for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a food processor add all ingredients except pumpkin seeds. Puree until very smooth. Taste, and if you’d like to add additional garlic or spices, add a little. Then, add most of the pumpkin seeds (reserving 2–3 Tbsp.), and pulse through. Transfer mixture to a serving dish, and top with remaining pumpkin seeds. Serve with whole-grain pita breads, tortilla chips, warm whole-grain bread, etc.

Improve Your Health With These Wellbeing Strategies

There is no single definition of wellbeing, but it can be thought of as a state of being healthy, happy and prosperous. Wellbeing is often used interchangeably with terms such as health, happiness, and success.

Wellbeing is a multi-dimensional concept that includes physical, mental, emotional and social dimensions.

Physical wellbeing

Physical wellbeing refers to the state of being physically healthy and having enough energy to meet the demands of daily life. Mental wellbeing refers to the state of being mentally healthy, which includes having a positive outlook on life and feeling good about oneself.

Emotional Wellbeing

Emotional wellbeing refers to the state of being emotionally stable and able to cope with life’s ups and downs. Social wellbeing refers to the state of being socially connected and having supportive relationships.

There are many factors that contribute to wellbeing. Some of these include having a sense of control over one’s life, having a purpose in life, feeling connected to others, having a positive outlook on life and feeling good about oneself.

Wellbeing is important because it contributes to our overall health and happiness. It also plays a role in our ability to cope with stress and adversity. When we are wellbeing, we are more likely to lead fulfilling and satisfying lives. Some of the most important aspects of wellbeing are stated below.

Exercise

The importance of exercise for wellbeing has been well-documented. Studies have shown that regular exercise can improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost self-esteem.

Plant-based Diet

Eating a healthy diet is also essential for wellbeing. A well-balanced plant-based diet provides the nutrients we need to function optimally and to promote good health. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, plant-based protein and healthy fats is key for wellbeing.

Hydration

Hydration is also crucial for wellbeing, as it helps to keep the body and mind functioning at their best. Staying hydrated can help to boost energy levels, improve brain function, and promote overall wellbeing.

Mindset

Mindset is also crucial for wellbeing. A positive outlook on life can go a long way in promoting wellbeing. Optimism, gratitude, and self-compassion are all important wellbeing mindset strategies.

Sleep

Sleep is another important wellbeing strategy. Getting enough sleep helps to promote physical and mental health and can also help to improve mood and cognitive function.

Stress reduction

Stress reduction techniques are also important for wellbeing, as stress can have a negative impact on both physical and mental wellbeing. Some effective stress-reduction techniques include practicing mindfulness, engaging in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or guided meditation.

Spend time with nature

Finally, spending time outdoors is another powerful wellbeing strategy. Spending time outside has been shown to boost mood and energy levels, improve focus and concentration, and promote overall wellbeing. Whether it’s taking a walk through the woods, going for a hike or bike ride, or simply sitting outside with a good book on a sunny day – being in nature is one of the best ways to feel good about life.

There are many different ways to promote wellbeing. Some of the most effective wellbeing strategies include regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, managing stress effectively and spending time in nature. Promoting wellbeing is important because it contributes to our overall health and happiness. It also plays a role in our ability to cope with stress and adversity.

How To Get Toned Arms In Two Weeks Without Weights

Are you looking for a way to get toned arms without using weights? If so, you’re in luck! There are plenty of ways to tone your arms without lifting a single weight. But, I have to say, trying to get toned arms the quick way by doing a bunch of arm exercises without weights is not going to be easy. So, if you’re up for a challenge, here’s how you can get toned arms in two weeks without weights:

Push-ups
1. Do some push-ups. Push-ups are a great way to tone your arms without using any equipment. All you need is a flat surface and your own body weight. Start by doing as many push-ups as you can and then work your way up from there.

Tricep dips
2. Try some tricep dips. Tricep dips are another great exercises for toning your arms without weights. All you need for this exercise is a sturdy chair or bench. Simply place your hands on the edge of the chair and dip your body down, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

Resistance bands
3. Use resistance bands. Resistance bands are a great way to add some extra resistance to your arm exercises. This will help you tone your arms even faster. You can find resistance bands at most sporting goods stores.

Arm circles
4. Do some arm circles. Arm circles are a simple but effective way to tone your arms without weights. All you need is a little space to move around. Start by holding your arms out to the side and then making small circles with them. As you get more comfortable, you can make the circles larger.

Bicep curls
5. Try some bicep curls. Bicep curls are an easy and effective way to work your arms without using weights. Simply hold a set of dumbbells or water bottles in each hand, and then bend your elbows as you curl the weights up towards your shoulders.

Tricep extensions
6. Do some tricep extensions. Tricep extensions are a great way to tone the back of your arms. All you need is a set of dumbbells or water bottles. Start by holding the weight in one hand and then extending your arm straight up above your head. Bend your elbow and lower the weight behind your head, and then extend your arm back up to the starting position.

Overhead presses
7. Try some overhead presses. Overhead presses are a great way to work your shoulders and upper arms. Start by holding a dumbbell or water bottle in each hand and then press them both overhead. Lower the weights back down to shoulder level and then press them back up again.

Lateral raises
8. Do some lateral raises. Lateral raises are a great way to work your shoulders and upper arms. Start by holding a dumbbell or water bottle in each hand and then raise them both out to the side. Lower the weights back down to your sides and then raise them back up again.

Front raises
9. Try some front raises. Front raises are a great way to work your shoulders and upper arms. Start by holding a dumbbell or water bottle in each hand and then raise them both up in front of you. Lower the weights back down to your sides and then raise them back up again.

Delt flyes
10. Do some rear delt flyes. Rear delt flyes are a great way to work your shoulders and upper arms. Start by holding a dumbbell or water bottle in each hand and then raise them both out to the side. Lower the weights back down to your sides and then raise them back up again.
If you stick with these tips, you should be able to see results in just a few weeks and if you stick to it long term you will have perfect arms that will make you look and feel younger.

Navy Bean Hummus And Mixed Vegetable Pita Pockets

Creamy and garlicky, with a zing of fresh lime juice, this is one tasty dip. The recipe calls for navy beans cooked from scratch, but it’s still ready in only 35 minutes. Not bad! Creamy, garlicky navy bean hummus and crunchy fresh vegetables are tucked into hearty whole-wheat pitas in a perfect marriage of textures, colors, and flavors.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE NAVY BEAN HUMMUS

  • 1 cup dried navy beans, sorted, washed, and soaked overnight
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Sea salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

FOR THE MIXED VEGETABLES

  • 1 medium beet, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 medium tomato, cored and finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, white and light green parts finely chopped
  • ¼ cup grated carrot
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Sea salt
FOR SERVING

  • 4 whole-grain pita breads
  • 2 cups salad greens
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. To prepare the hummus, place the soaked navy beans in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water and cook over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the beans are very tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Do not drain.
  2. Transfer the cooled beans and their cooking liquid to a blender or food processor and add the lime juice, garlic, pepper, and salt to taste. Puree until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in the cilantro. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. To prepare the mixed vegetables, combine the beet, tomato, green onions, carrot, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, sesame seeds, and salt to taste in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.
  4. To assemble the pita pockets, lightly heat the pitas in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, making sure they do not get crisp.
  5. Cut the pitas in half. Open one pocket and spread ⅛ of the hummus on one side of the interior. Spoon in some of the mixed vegetables and top with ¼ cup of the salad greens. Repeat with the remaining pita halves, hummus, mixed vegetables, and greens. Serve immediately.Note: To make this recipe quicker, swap the dried beans for 1½ cans of navy beans, drained & rinsed. The hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Sonoran Desert Tepary Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Sonoran Desert Tepary Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

by with No Comment All PostsCoachingDietingFitnessHealthPlant based foodRecipesVeganWellbeing

Sonoran Desert Tepary Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Tepary beans carry a long and rich history among the Indigenous people of the Sonoran Desert, where the beans have been cultivated for more than 4,000 years. There are three main types of tepary beans: brown, black, and white. They are hearty little beans and full of flavor. The white beans are the creamiest when blended, which is why I prefer them for this red pepper-spiked tepary bean hummus. You can use any color tepary for this recipe, but white will be the creamiest and prettiest against the roasted pepper. Look for tepary beans on Amazon, at some Whole Foods stores, or buy online from Rancho Gordo or Ramona Farms.

Switch things up with this tepary bean hummus. Tepary beans make a creamier hummus compared with chickpeas. Add the smoky flavor of roasted red pepper and you’ve got a mouthwatering dip that goes fast.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white tepary beans
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 4 medium garlic cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ⅓–½ cup water
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. When the oven is hot, place the whole bell pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pepper is wrinkled and charred.
  3. Use tongs to transfer the hot roasted pepper to a paper grocery bag to cool and steam (this will make it easier to peel). After it has cooled, peel with hands, discarding skin, seeds, and stem.
  4. Place the cooked tepary beans in a blender or food processor and purée to a thick paste. Add the roasted pepper, lemon juice, garlic, salt, tahini, and smoked paprika. Pulse a few more times, then slowly drizzle in the water. Keep processing until desired consistency is reached, about a minute, depending on your machine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
