This is one of the healthiest and simplest broccoli recipes you could ever make. Combining the fantastic nutritional value of broccoli with the well established health benefits of the garlic in the hummus and you have a really easy recipe that you will be eating, and most importantly enjoying, in literally no time.

Before we take a look at today’s marvelous recipe let’s just take a minute to run through some more health benefits of this incredible vegetable.

The fiber in broccoli combines with the bile acids in your digestive tract which results in lower cholesterol levels which we all know are vital to good health and longevity. Broccoli can also have a very positive impact on our bodies detox mechanisms. No need for complicated detox programs just eat plenty of broccoli on a regular basis. It is delicious and nutritious. It’s no secret We all need more natural sources of vitamins and minerals in our diets. Broccoli is loaded with both vitamin K & vitamin C as well as potassium and folate which aids in the production of new cells in the body.

I challenge you to find an easier recipe where every ingredient is as healthy and good for you as this one. After making it last year for a snack I have added it to my list of favorites and now I eat it at least 3-4 times a week. It keeps very well in the fridge and not only can you eat this yummy broccoli as it is you can also easily add it to your mains for a quick and easy serve of vegetable goodness.

If you are trying to lose weight and stay healthy broccoli is one vegetable you MUST be eating on a regular basis.

May I also suggest you add some broccoli to your diet in either a healthy stirfry or simply as side to a dinner meal such as this caramelized baked chicken.
