Smooth White Bean Hummus


Have you ever made your own hummus? Its one of the simplest and cheapest things you can make! One can of chickpeas (or any bean really!) will cost you between $1 - $2 and then the rest of the ingredients are likely already in your pantry as staples.


As for simple, it can't get much easier! You just throw all the ingredients together in a blender or food processor for a few minutes and viola! You have hummus.


What's also great is you can completely customize the flavor profile to be exactly how I like it. You are no longer limited to the flavors you see on the store shelves. Don't love chickpeas, try this white bean hummus variety. Love lemon, add in more lemon juice. Want more of a neutral profile - not a problem and use some water to thin out the beans of your choice and then add toppings as you like.


Hope you enjoy this butter bean hummus with a slightly tangy lemon profile!
