Spicy Avocado Hummus

This Spicy Avocado Hummus has a little kick and that is from the Amazing Serrano Pepper. This recipe is a cross between they every day normal garlic hummus to Mexican guacamole!

Do you love Guacamole? 

Then you are sure to want to try this recipe. It is allot like guacamole with a more creamy thick base.

That comes from the tahini sauce and chickpeas.

IS AVOCADO HUMMUS HEALTHY

Yes this recipe is packed full of protein, healthy fats and fiber.

So you can make this more than a snack if you want. 

YOU are going to love how fresh it tastes.

WHAT TO EAT WITH AVOCADO HUMMUS

  • Tortilla chips
  • Pita Bread
  • Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Peas
  • Cauliflower
  • You name it!

WILL AVOCADO HUMMUS TURN BROWN

Yes, unless you freeze it. You can expect the avocados to turn brown in less than a day!

CAN YOU FREEZE HUMMUS

Absolutely, I do it all the time. I will make a big batch and store some in the fridge for my family.

Which lasts us up to a week in an air tight container. 

Then I will section some off for the freezer, for movie nights, game nights and snacks. 

There is always hummus in our fridge or freezer.

HOW TO MAKE AVOCADO HUMMUS

  • Drain and rinse chickpeas, add to your blender or food processor with your avocado, olive oil, tahini, lime juice, cilantro and fresh garlic. Pulse for 1 minute or so until chickpeas and avocado are semi – smooth.
  • Next add in all your “dry spices” and pulse again until smooth this time, scraping down sides if needed and adding in more olive oil if you feel is needed.
  • Serve an hour or more after chilling in the fridge with your choice of tortilla chips ARRIBA!

Note: For best results chill it in an airtight container for up to 1 hour or more before serving. The longer it chills in the fridge the thicker it becomes and the flavors really set in. Also add the pit of one Avocado in the mixture helps to maintain its freshness.

Creamy Beetroot Hummus

Leave a comment

Once you try this homemade Creamy Beetroot hummus, you will be hooked. 

It’s absolutely delicious and very healthy for you. Not to mention it’s that much better tasting than the store bought kind, which is always to sweet. 

If that is not enough motivation enough for you to give it a Go, then check out the health benefits; Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). 

Beets also contain the B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects. Not to mention with powerful phytonutrients that give beets their deep crimson color may help to ward off cancer. If that is not reason enough to prepare this then i don’t know what is!

Hummus never tasted so good, serve with a warm pita and enjoy!

Make sure to peel your beets while there warm, otherwise there too hard to peel when there cold.
 
Also don’t throw out the beet greens as they are packed with nutrients that may strengthen your immune system, support brain and bone health, and more. Cook them up with some butter, salt and pepper and serve as a side dish to any meal.
