High-Protein Hummus

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 15 Ounce Can Garbanzo Beans (drained and rinsed with the skins removed)

1 1/4 Cups Cottage Cheese

1/3 Cup Tahini

1/4 Cup Lemon Juice

2 Cloves Garlic

1/4 Teaspoon Cumin

1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt

2 Ice Cubes

1 Drizzle Olive Oil

Fresh Parsley (chopped)

Directions

To make this hummus, start by preparing the garbanzo beans. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans well, and remove the skins – this is what will make the hummus nice and creamy!

Transfer the prepared chickpeas to a food processor alongside the rest of the ingredients (the cottage cheese, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and sea salt). Add in the ice cubes last.

Process the ingredients together for 3-4 minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and re-blend once or twice, to ensure that the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Then, remove the cover and taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or cruité, and enjoy!

Notes

Use ice cubes while processing.
