New obsession alert!
Since we realized how easy and healthy it was to make our own hummus, we just can’t stop!
Funny fact: hummus or houmous is Middle Eastern food dip that has its origin back from Egypt.
Chickpeas, hummus’s main ingredient, is full of protein, good-for-you carbs and fiber.
Basics: Chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, yogurt, garlic, paprika and salt.
This ‘Skinny Homemade Hummus’ recipe is inspired by Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook ‘Everyday Super Food’ with a few twists.
Total time: 15 mins
Author: Jamie Oliver

- 1 tsp tahini
- 2 tbsp natural organic yoghurt
- 1 pinch of paprika
- 1/2 clove of garlic

Steps:
- Tip the jar of chickpeas into a blender. Add in some of the water from the jar or even the entire water, depending on how moist you want your hummus to be.
