Oh My Peas

Ahhhh what started as an organized day has turned into chaos after two back-2-back GH calls and 50 other things that popped up. And I have interviews to do at the bakery in just 30 minutes. Don’t know if I’m going to be able to bike there anymore…

My noon-time Body Pump class was great. The Monday class, taught by Chris, has turned into a “Pump Challenge” class – I guess because it’s so much harder than regular pump! Perhaps it strays too much from the official class. I still love it though, and it’s my favorite class because it’s hard and Chris is awesome.

I came home and whipped up a pea hummus inspired by Whole Living Magazine!

It’s incredibly delicious!!

No words - just pea heaven!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 servings
Author kath younger

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed in a colander
  • 2 tbsp tahini or I bet almond butter would be good too!
  • 1 handful torn cilantro other herbs would be good too – or spinach – or leave it out
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 1 heaping tbsp dried lavender buds from Whole Foods bulk bins
  • Garlic gold crunchies or a whole clove if you like raw garlic

Instructions

  • Put in vitamix or food processor and blend. YUM!

IMG_8381Blog

I had a pile of dippers – carrots, broc, peppers and chips

IMG_8374Blog

And on the side – a salad made from yesterday’s beets, honey crunch peanuts, and avocado dressed in olive oil and honey.

IMG_8375BlogIMG_8384BlogIMG_8383Blog

An amazingly healthy + fantastic lunch!

Word on the street is that our new recycled glass countertops were installed this morning. And we’re also out of printer paper – grrrr!!

    Your hummus looks lovely Kath!! I love all the pops of colour in these photos. I’ve been adoring my food processor lately – until then, I’d been making hummus in my blender which took forever and I could never avoid the problem of getting bits stuck in the bottom. Lavender buds are something I’ve never seen before, nor have I thought to put them in recipes. Do they really affect the taste?

    I had no idea you could do a chick-pea-less hummus…is it still as creamy? That’s my fave part of hummus. And no oil either? Interesting. I’d need some peas though…and tahini. I have plenty of nut butter to use though!

      Hi Natalia,
      Gotta (respectfully!) disagree with Kath. Even though I blog for the SunButter brand of sunflower butter, I say do the bodypump first (love the barbell class at my club!). THEN do sunflower butter — great protein after a great workout. I’m kinda kidding, but sincere on this: Enjoy BOTH!

    I love the photo updates on your FB GH page. The oven construction makes me feel stressed just looking at it from a distance! Your store is going to be SO cute though.

    When you guys get a chance for a breather – you need to drive down to Williamsburg and check out The Cheese Shop on Duke of Glouchester St. I worked there for two years in college and seriously – they have the best sandwiches in the entire world. I recommend the veggie and the proscutto & provolone. With extra House dressing on the side. Just for “research”, you know. 😉
