Low Fat Hummus

Traditional hummus (or houmous?) uses olive oil as well as tahini which is made from ground, hulled sesame seeds and similar to nuts, whilst not unhealthy, are incredibly calorie dense.

And we all know that, pitta bread in hand, you can’t just have a “little” bit of hummus! And we all know that, pitta bread in hand, you can’t just have a “little” bit of hummus!

So by removing the fats we remove a lot of the calories and while you may not get the same rich texture of traditional hummus you still retain almost all of the taste!

Ingredients

  • 400 g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 150 g 0% fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 lemon, zest and juice of
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz until pureed to the desired consistency. Add water or more yogurt to increase volume or make a thinner dip.

Recipe Notes

Substituting 0% Greek Yogurt for a higher fat version will likely increase the richness and flavour but also the nutrient breakdown.

      I don’t see why not. Obviously the nutritional info would change but I imagine it would add a nice richness to it!
