The Easiest Hummus
10 minutes and a blender
Yup, that’s all the time you need for this recipe! I go through phases of loving hummus, and I am definitely in that phase right now. I always recommend hummus to my clients as it has protein, fat, and fiber and is really tasty with veggies, making it perfect for snacking or an addition to a salad. However, not all hummus is created equal. Many store-bought hummus use refined seed oils like canola and sunflower rather than extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or avocado oil. Since this recipe is so quick, I tend to choose to make my own hummus, but if I do buy it from the store, I look for one made with EVOO and/or avocado oil – a brand that does a good job of this is Hope.
Enough of the boring stuff; let’s get into the recipe! Btw if this hummus recipe bores you, you can easily get creative and add cooked beets, different herbs like parsley, some lemon (I’m allergic), or whatever else comes to mind!
