Chocolate hummus
Chocolate hummus is all the rage at the moment but one UAE company is taking the food trend a step further with a range that puts new flavor twists on the dip.
If you thought combining chick peas with chocolate was already a mind-blowing idea, think of how amazing it gets once you add peanut butter, hazelnut or coffee.
Kcal, the health-conscious restaurant and website, has come up with three unique flavors that they're selling for a limited amount of time in snack pots. They either come with apple bites or cranberry hazelnut crackers, all made with natural ingredients and no hidden sugar.
You can get it for dine-in, takeout or delivery in all their Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah branches
While slices of crunchy apple and fresh strawberries are sweet enough on their own, isn't everything better with chocolate? You can spruce up your basic snack by pairing it with this smooth and mousse-like chocolate dip. Made with almonds, chickpeas, and dates, it offers fiber and protein, but is much lower in sugar than if you noshed on a couple squares of dark chocolate.
Your food processor makes whipping this dip up a breeze, so it's perfect for an after-dinner treat or to make for a small dinner party. The creamy texture and robust flavor of this chocolate hummus will appeal to anyone's taste buds, and you'll wonder if you'll ever be able to eat fruit alone again.
