- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
- 2 medium ripe avocados, seed removed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish)
- 1 small baguette, sliced into 1/4” slices
- 3 tablespoons olive/sunflower oil
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
In a food processor, pulse the first 8 ingredients through cilantro (reserve some cilantro for garnish) with salt and pepper until semi-smooth, about 2 minutes.
Lay the baguette slices out on 1-2 baking sheets. Brush with canola oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each. Bake 4-5 minutes until slightly crisp and golden brown.
To serve, spread some of the avocado hummus on each. Top with a few chopped tomatoes. Garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
Note: For extra flavor, add cracked black pepper on top of the fresh tomato on the crostini’s before serving.

Avocados have the most fiber of all common fruits and my blood sugar was only 104 after eating 7 small ones with some other stuff, unlike other fruits which make your 1 hour after eating glucose way higher. Mixed with other fruits, avocados lower blood glucose reading compared to those fruits alone. I always do tests of foods to see glucose response. Avocados also got the highest amino acid score of 129, of any veggie, fruit, nut or seed, even soy. Raw Vegans often wonder - what is an easy way to get fiber and protein? There are hundreds of ways, but below is just one example of what one could eat one day of the week or several:
a) 1 medium mature (not young) coconut = 13 grams of protein with score 87, 36 grams of fiber
COCONUTS (lower glucose, fight inflammation, lower bad cholesterol, eliminate candida, fight depression, prevent osteoporosis, improve digestion, lower serum triglycerides) ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/hYLN6LTGoBr
b) 4 big zucchini (also called Italian squash, summer squash, eaten raw, has 8 times more lutein than carrots) (2 lb) = 22 grams of protein with score 89, for just 270 calories, 10 grams of fiber
ZUCCHINI ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/ccPXHhqDyNw
c) 6 tiny (100 grams each) avocados = 12 grams of protein with score 129, and 42 grams of fiber
AVOCADOS (lower cholesterol, fight cancer (leukemia or blood cancer too), improve collagen synthesis for better skin and hair ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/7diSczssqRD
d) some ginger and some tomatoes, and/or other small items you like, a little fruit, etc = another 5 grams of complete protein and say 5 grams of fiber
Note, all the above have amino acid score higher than 86 for lentils (a complete protein as explained amino acid by amino acid at https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/DPagLPDS4wQ - lentils are more complete than rice and lentils or rice and beans, see explanation) or 85 for milk.
If you add a few tomatoes, the 1 coconut, 6 avocados and 4 summer Italian squash up, you get 52 grams of protein, the daily need for the average weight person, and 93 grams of fiber, which is perfect for optimal health (ideally one needs at least 50-60 grams).
