Ingredients: 

• 1 can of garbanzo beans

• 1/2 cup of almond pulp (after blending and straining 1 cup of raw almonds with 2 cups of water) If you don’t want to use pulp you can use raw almonds soaked overnight to soften but it won’t have as creamy of a texture!

• Juice of 1 🍋

• 1/4cup Olive oil

• 1/4c Tahini 🥜 (a nutty store bought spread made from sesame seeds – almost like a peanut butter!)

• 1 garlic clove 🧄

• dash of salt & pepper to flavor

• splash of water to thin as necessary

Directions: 

• Soft boil the can of beans with the liquid from the can until beans are warm and soft and NOT all of the liquid is absorbed (this is a crucial step for the creaminess!)

• Add warmed beans + remaining liquid and all other ingredients to a high power blender

• Blend on high until very well combined (add water one tablespoon at a time if it feels too thick)

• Store for up to a week in the fridge and enjoy as a dip, spread, side dish, etc for a healthy high protein and fiber loaded snack!
