Serve immediately or after it is chilled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

This hummus recipe is 100% vegan. Some recipes use Greek yogurt, but I don’t find it necessary to add yogurt to hummus and it still turns out super creamy.

It is packed with nutrients such as protein, fiber and unsaturated fats that are heart-healthy. Pairing it with fruits allows increasing the vitamins’ intake. However, try to stick to the recommended serving of 30g to 60g to keep calories under control.
