Avocado Hummus

Avocado Hummus

Healthy Fact of the Day

Avocado Hummus combines the nutritional benefits of two superfoods. Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber, which promote satiety and digestive health. Avocados provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium, and vitamins K, C, and B6. This dip is also rich in tahini, a good source of calcium and healthy fats. To make it even healthier, serve with raw vegetable sticks instead of chips. This hummus is naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it suitable for various dietary needs. While nutritious, it's calorie-dense due to the avocado and olive oil content, so be mindful of portion sizes. Enjoy as part of a balanced diet, perhaps as a nutrient-packed snack or a spread on whole grain sandwiches.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp water (if needed for consistency)
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Extra olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, avocado, tahini, lime juice, and garlic.

  2. Pulse until ingredients are roughly chopped.

  3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil.

  4. Add cumin, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.

  5. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. Add cilantro and pulse a few times to incorporate.

  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  8. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  9. Create a small well in the center and drizzle with extra olive oil.

  10. Sprinkle with paprika for color.

  11. Serve with pita chips, vegetable sticks, or warm flatbread.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Memorial Day Weekend Deals Are Live — Here’s Everything Worth Knowing Before You Order

Memorial Day weekend cookouts are one of summer’s great pleasures — and with a little planning, they don’t have to derail your health goals. Grilling is actually one of the healthier cooking methods since fat drips away from the meat, and loading your plate with grilled vegetables alongside your main is an easy way to balance the meal. If you’re taking advantage of restaurant deals this weekend, look for options that include a salad or side of vegetables, drink water alongside any indulgent food, and remember that the holiday is about enjoying time with people — not about eating as much as possible.

One Can of Chickpeas, Five Completely Different Meals

Chickpeas are one of the most nutritionally dense things you can keep in your pantry. One cup delivers around 15 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber, which means they keep you full significantly longer than most pantry staples. They’re also low on the glycemic index, which helps avoid the blood sugar spike and crash that comes with a lot of quick weeknight meals. If you’re watching sodium, give canned chickpeas a quick rinse before using — it removes a meaningful amount of the added salt without affecting texture or flavor.
