MOORISH PEA HUMMUS
150g, £1.80, sainsburys.co.uk This is described as having ‘50 per cent more protein, to keep you feeling fuller for longer’. The addition of peas — 30 per cent of the hummus — and pea protein powder here means a 60g portion contains 6g protein, which is about the same as a large egg.
That said, a 60g portion of lean meat, fish or soya would have more than double that amount of protein, without the high-fat content typical of hummus. But peas are a good source of protective antioxidant vitamin C.
TASTE: The clean, fresh, pea flavour is scrumptious.
