Well this hummus recipe is also very quick and simple, so anyone can make it. Plus, this easy hummus recipe is made with real, whole food ingredients, that will add delicious flavor to your food, without adding extra unhealthy calories. A lot of store bought hummus, sauces, and dips contain unhealthy ingredients, preservatives, and sulfites. That’s why I love taking control of the ingredients that I put in my body by making my own quick and simple recipes. Don’t believe me? Check out the ingredients below and lets get cooking! But wait. Once the hummus is made, what do you do with it and how do you eat it? Sure you can just stick your finger in it…damn that’s good! But it’s best when you add some crunchy vegetables like celery, carrots, or any of your favorite dipping vegetables. And if you love your carbs (and earned them), you can have a healthier Ezekiel bread and whole wheat pita for your finger foods to dip into the hummus. Easy Hummus Recipe In A Blender Servings INGREDIENTS - 1 can black beans - 1 can chick peas - 1 tbsp tahini - 1 juice of 1 lemon (use a lemon squeezer or work those forearms 😉) - 2 cloves garlic - Dash cumin (I didn't measure the spices for this recipe, so feel free to play around with the quantities) - Dash Cinnamon - 1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil (a great source of healthy fats) - Dash Himalayan sea salt - Dash cayenne pepper (add as little or as much as you like to spice it up) - Dash chili powder - 1/3 cup Water - carrots use to dip into the hummus - celery use to dip into the hummus - whole wheat pita optional: sliced into bite sized pieces - Ezekiel bread optional: sliced into bite sized pieces INSTRUCTIONS 1. Rinse the black beans and chickpeas under water to remove some of the excess sodium, then add them to a blender. 2. Add tahini, the juice of a lemon (you know I love my lemons), garlic, cumin, cinnamon, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and water to the blender. 3. That's it. Blend it up until it reaches the correct texture. 4. Remove the hummus from the blender with a spatula or spoon and add it to a bowl. 5. Add the carrots, celery, and optional whole wheat pita and Ezekiel bread to the plate. 6. Take a taste, but start dipping the vegetables first 😉 7. Yell, damn that's good!
