If you want to eat something satisfying and healthy and have 5 minutes, some chickpeas, tahini, garlic and a hand blender, then you need this spicy healthy hummus recipe & the “bonus” hummus wrap recipe!

Update: We decided to actually take some new pictures of the hummus, because we're still having it almost every day. Haven’t made the hummus wrap recently, so you’ll see the old photos here. The recipe was originally published in October 2017.

The first time we ate hummus, this creamy satisfying thing was wrapped in a falafel.

Then the movie Zohan came out and after seeing the main character brush his teeth, condition women’s hair and fight evil using hummus, we were inspired.

We needed to make our own hummus.

And so the hummus making journey began.

We made chunky hummus, not good hummus, then we got better. It’s a surprise to us, we haven’t shared any of our hummus recipes here. Because we've made so many versions of it…Hummus with spinach, with basil, with roasted peppers (this is a winner), even with beet. We've tried it all.

But we always come back to the most simple version. With some spice in it. It’s simple, fast, we practically always have the ingredients at home and can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Now, our version doesn’t use olive oil like the original hummus ingredient list suggests. We love olive oil, but we somehow don’t like the taste in hummus. So this hummus is oil-free, vegan and gluten-free.

You can use this hummus as a snack, as a part of a lunch bowl or in wraps.

The Hummus Wrap

We like to make a simple, simple and healthy wrap with hummus and vegetables. All you need to do is put some hummus and vegetables in a tortilla.

Tasty and healthy vegan hummus wraps - high-fiber, simple, fast and filling for lunch or dinner! | | Simple healthy recipes - vegan |…

It’s fast and satisfying and everyone on the planet needs to try it, so we'll also put the recipe below.

Health Benefits

This hummus is high-fiber and thanks to those chickpeas also high-protein and a good source of iron, which you can conveniently absorb better thanks to the vitamin C from the lemon juice.

Our sister and we always say whoever came up with the original recipe for hummus was probably a nutritionist.

Now let’s make it!

We hope you enjoy the hummus recipe – we use it in almost everything and we're sharing some of the recipes below. Hope you enjoy them!
