A Sweet Hummus

I have a sweet tooth and crave more than just fresh fruit. So, I came up with this yummy recipe to use as a dip, spread, or simply to lick off a spoon

Berry Hummus

To a high speed blender, add:
2 containers raspberries
1/2 cup canned garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed thoroughly) 1 tbsp agave syrup
Use a high-speed blender to blend the ingredients. As it smooths, add if you wish - optional - a 1/2 tsp of vegetable or olive oil. Continue to blend til smooth.
 
Chill before enjoying.
 
You can add any berries. Feel free to be creative and experiment with other fruits. Add sweetener to your liking, too. You can even use stevia. I added gooseberries to give that extra punch of Vitamin C.
 
Enjoy!
