Homemade Hummus
Great healthy protein spread to have with your snacks!
Packed with plant-based protein, this smooth and flavourful hummus is the perfect healthy dip or spread. Whether you’re dunking crunchy veggie sticks, spreading it, or serving it with crackers for yourself or at your next gathering, it’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
What you need:
- 1 can of Chickpeas, drained
(Save the liquid to use if the mix is too thick at the end) - ½ to 1 whole Avocado
- Fresh juice from a Lemon
- Fresh Garlic
- Fresh Basil
- A sprinkle of Cumin
- Pinch of Salt (if you like)
* You decide how much or how little flavour you like!
* If you don’t like avocado, use approximately 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil instead.
What to do:
Place all your ingredients in a food processor – or use a hand stick mixer (barmix) – and blend. If the mixture looks too thick, add a little of the reserved chickpea liquid.
Tips:
Serve with cut-up vegetables or spread over healthy crackers or crispbread. Try topping it with sliced tomatoes or cucumber – this is so nice! Feel free to garnish with fresh mint before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy over the next few days.
Great healthy spread – enjoy!
