Hummus! Yum! Avocados! Yum!
I know some people don’t like avocados, but the hubs and I eat them almost everyday. We LOVE them! So when one of my awesome ladies in my challenge group(aka online fitness accountability group) shared this recipe, I HAD to try it out!
And I wasn’t disappointed!
It’s SO good
SO simple
SO easy!
First off, in case you didn’t know – avocados are a super healthy fat!
Avocados have vitamins and minerals, fiber, antioxidants, Carotenoids which are beneficial for eye health, and healthy fat
– which I already mentioned :)!
This recipe doesn’t have any added oil because the avocado is taking the place of the olive oil and tahini in regular hummus.
Try it – and let me know what you thought! It’s sure to please YOU and your friends as it has ours!!

Serves: 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
- 1½ cups Chickpeas ( rinsed and drained from a can or soaked and cooked)
- 1 Avocado
- small handful fresh Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice
- 5 tablespoons Water
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 – 2 Garlic Cloves (optional)
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
- Garnish with red pepper flakes (optional).

NOTES
1.) If hummus is too thick, add more water. If it is too runny, add a few more chickpeas.
2) This hummus is made without tahini. You can add tahini or sesame paste to this recipe if you like for a more “traditional” hummus flavor. Add a bit more water, lime juice, and salt to taste and texture.
