Hummus is so darn tasty! Unfortunately it can get pretty expensive when you buy it at the store. Make your own at home and experiment with your favorite flavor combinations! Just follow our easy hummus recipe.

If you’re worried about not having a food processor, we have good news! You can whip up your fresh made hummus in a blender. While a food processor is the easiest way to make this recipe, they can be expensive and a blender will work just fine.

For a super smooth hummus, pop the skins off of the garbanzo beans prior to combining the ingredients. You can also experiment with other beans like edamame or white beans.

Feeling adventurous? Try experimenting with your favorite flavors like roasted red peppers, jalapeños, avocados and cilantro!
