Classic Creamy Hummus
Once you realize how simple, cheap, and versatile homemade hummus is, you’ll never go back to store bought! Master this basic high protein, high fiber spread and make it a new weekly staple
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans
- 1 lemon juice
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- ¼ cup Tahini (a nutty store bought spread made from sesame seeds – almost like a peanut butter!)
- 1 garlic clove
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Meal Prep 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 more olive oil & lemon juice 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!
