This cannellini bean hummus recipe is delicate yet filling. and rich in vegetable proteins and healthy fats. Very easy to make it is great as a healthy snack, or even a proper meal accompanied by some vegetables.
Hummus is considered a very healthy food, and a great snack, but most hummus found at supermarkets are a calorie-rich dip with a few nutrients or health benefits.
Supermarket’s made Hummus is not so healthy
Most are made with inflammatory seeds oils rather than extra-virgin olive oil, and have added flavourings.
Making your own homemade hummus is the best choice
Making your hummus is the healthiest choice, especially as it is so easy and quick to make! You can use a variety of beans and vegetables, for a delicious and ever-changing healthy snack or starter!
You can make it a full meal
Yes, you can have it a full meal. I usually have a bowl of hummus with either raw or roasted vegetables.

You only need 4 ingredients to make this hummus, but you can add flavor with more spices like harissa..
