This is an alternative to hummus, made with super creamy Cannellini beans & some helpful ingredients for added blood sugar balance.
Beans are an excellent way to support a healthy blood sugar because they contain protein & resistant starch fibre, which helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels after meals. We added an extra source of protein and healthy fats to the dip with the addition of hemp seeds.
The 4 Mushroom Blend (Balance) by Eversio Wellness contains a therapeutic dose of functional mushrooms (Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake) and provides a major antioxidant boost, stress relief to activate your calm nervous system, plus it provides blood sugar balancing and cognitive support so you can get more done while nourishing your body.
