Yes! Hummus, made from chickpeas, counts as a bean-based food and provides the second meal effect just like whole chickpeas. Even though it’s blended, hummus still contains fiber, resistant starch, and protein, which help regulate blood sugar levels at your next meal.
To maximize the effect, pair hummus with whole grains (like whole wheat pita) or vegetables instead of refined carbs.
