Pure Hummus

Add PURE Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate for a big boost of protein – 1/2 cup PURE adds 40 grams clean protein and won’t change the flavor or texture of your delicious hummus.

 Pure Hummus

• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, about 2 lemons
• 1/4 cup tahini, sesame paste (or use natural peanut butter as a non-traditional substitute)
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• One, 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained
• 1/2 cup PURE Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Paprika

Add the lemon juice and tahini to the food processor and process until thick and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides, add the garlic, salt and cumin – process an additional 1 minute.

Add 1/2 of the chickpeas to the mixture in food processor and process until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down sides; add the remaining chickpeas and the PURE – process until silky smooth – adding 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water, a little at a time, to bring hummus to the desired consistency.

Scrape into a bowl, make a shallow well in the center, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
