Simple-Speedy-Smooth: Vitamix Hummus

JUMP TO RECIPE

What's the easiest way to eat more raw colorful veggies?? Add a dip of course! Hummus is a staple in my house and I love using our (15-year-old!) Vitamix blender. 

Super simple. Super Speedy. Super smooth.

The ratios are the same for a reason - I like recipes I can memorize easily and basically repeat in my sleep. Okay, maybe not literally...only my middle son sleepwalks, but I assume you have mombie days too. And only dirtying one measuring cup just makes me happy for some reason.

I bet you’ll have it memorized in no time too ;)

Trader Joe’s Tahini (sesame seed paste) is so good. I literally jumped for joy when they started carrying it regularly! This olive oil is my favorite for dressings and hummus - it has a light, neutral flavor. It won’t overpower or make things taste bitter.

Halve the recipe if needed, but doubling feels like a no-brainer when getting an appliance dirty IMO. If you have a smaller family, consider making this big batch before a picnic, bbq, potluck, or dinner party (the perfect healthy appetizer)! I always feel on top of the world when I can prep something to share with friends AND have a healthy snack prepped for the week. And I can pretty much guarantee at least one person at the gathering will ask you for the recipe ;)

My favorite veggies to dip in hummus are cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, radishes, and broccoli. My kids love almond flour crackers, pita crackers, pita…or their fingers. My 3 year old is still known for double-dipping. So she gets her own little bowl.

Halve the recipe if needed, but doubling feels like a no-brainer when getting an appliance dirty IMO. If you have a smaller family, consider making this big batch before a picnic, bbq, or dinner party (veggies and hummus are a great healthy appetizer)! I always feel on top of the world when I can prep something to share with friends AND be prepared for healthy snacking for the week. Double win!

Ingredients

• 2 cans garbanzo beans
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup light olive oil
• ½ cup tahini
• ½ cup water
• 2 tsp granulated garlic or 2 cloves garlic
• 1 ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp cumin
• ⅛ tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Juice lemons (about 2 large)
2. Drain and rinse garbanzo beans
3. Place all ingredients into Vitamix or another high-speed blender. A food processor works too - I just recommend leaving the water till last and slowly adding it through the food processor spout - may not need much.
4. Start blending on low and gradually increase speed, switching over to high speed for about 1 minute until smooth.
5. Scoop hummus out with a large spoon or long small spatula and divide into a couple of 2+ cup containers to store. Hummus keeps for at least 5-7 days covered in the refrigerator.
