Roasted Beet Hummus: A Hormone-Supportive Snack for Midlife Women
Looking for a vibrant, delicious way to support your hormones and energy levels in midlife? This roasted beet hummus isn’t just a pretty dip—it’s packed with nutrients that your midlife body actually needs. Beets are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and nitrates that support heart health, liver detoxification, and improved circulation—all essential in perimenopause and menopause.
Chickpeas bring in plant-based protein and fiber, tahini adds healthy fats and calcium, and garlic? That’s your immune-supportive flavor bomb. This recipe checks every box: colorful, creamy, hormone-happy, and wildly satisfying.
Ingredients (Serves 8):
2 small to medium beets
1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
3 to 4 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
2 to 3 Tbsp olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Trim and scrub beets. Wrap each in foil and roast for about 1 hour.
Once tender, rinse under cold water and peel. Roughly chop.
Add all ingredients except oil to a food processor. Blend for 1–2 minutes. Scrape the sides.
Slowly add olive oil while blending until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust salt or lemon if needed.
Serve with sliced veggies, crackers, or as a bold and beautiful spread on toast.
