If you want to eat something delicious 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!

The best hummus! This healthy hummus recipe is spicy, full of flavor and just the best snack, ingredient in dinner or lunch bowls or healthy wraps! Your dinner table needs this easy hummus recipe. It’s only 5 ingredients - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, crushed red pepper and lemon juice and it’s ready in 5 minutes.

Update: I decided to actually take some new pictures of the hummus, because I’m 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 I ate hummus, this creamy delicious 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, I was inspired.

I needed to make my own hummus.

And so the hummus making journey began.

It’s only 5 ingredients - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, crushed red pepper and lemon juice and it’s ready in 5 minutes.

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

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

Now, my version doesn’t use olive oil like the original hummus ingredient list suggests. I love olive oil, but I 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

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

It’s quick and delicious and everyone on the planet needs to try it, so I’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.

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

Now let’s make it!

    Hi! I made your hummus and used it to top the 5 minute mediterranean bow and it is absolutely delicious! Are there nutrition facts for your hummus?

      Hi Bayley! Yay, so glad you liked it! The nutrition facts aren’t for my hummus, but it should be similar. I also changed the recipe card for the hummus – now it includes the calories for the entire hummus. Not sure how many tbsp it makes though, I never count them…I’d guess 7-8…I hope it helps.
