Seriously who doesn't like hummus (I know you people exist, but you're few and far between)? This basic no-oil hummus recipe right here is the perfect base of all my hummus flavors. 

 

 

 

How To Make A Basic No Oil Hummus

All you do is place all the hummus ingredients into a food processor or Vitamix.Then you will blend everything well until super creamy and not too many large garbanzo beans chunks. Have fun with the flavors - I love sriracha in this recipe. But cumin and smoked paprika used together are really awesome as well. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basic No Oil Hummus Tips 

This recipe is tangy, low-fat (no oil), protein rich and creamy dreamy delicious. There are a few secrets to this dip: a touch of nutritional yeast, a small amount of soaked cashews and lots of lemon juice. I use tahini like most of the hummus makers out there as well. Garbanzo beans are a favorite snacks and so versatile in nature. What is your favorite bean? 

Side health note: Do you feel like beans make you super gassy or bloated? Truth is - you don't eat them enough (some people are actually allergic to beans though, I'm not talking about you!). So many people need the fiber when they eat protein but meat doesn't have any fiber at all. So the food doesn't move through the intestines fast enough. When those used to eating meat suddenly "cold turkey" (haha pun intended) start on a plant-based diet they complain that they don't like the diet because they can't live with a pooch-y tummy. Good news is - it will go away once your gut gets healthy and you slowly start to get that old food moving out of the intestines. Haha eeewwww! 😝 But it's the truth. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that you got this big old batch of basic oil-free hummus what the heck will you do with all of it? Share it for sure. Make sure every family enjoys your oil-free hummus because it's a really healthy snack. Dip veggies in it or even your favorite chips, crackers or naan. Today I'm going to share my favorite way to eat this basic hummus. My lunch idea adds even more nutrition to your meal. What is it you ask: a delicious veggie wrap filled to the brim with healthy greens! As we all must know by now, greens are also a great form of roughage (great for digestion and moving food through the system) and they are full of micro nutrients, protein, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and more.
