Anyone have a recipe for high protein hummus? I love the stuff but am always looking to modify my food to have more protein. Anything?

Make it yourself omit the tahini and add geek yogurt instead

Could you not add unflavored protein powder?

Just a thought....

Unflavored protein powder isn't really unflavored lol it tastes gross IMO

Ok how about .

..Hemped up Hummus

1 big can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed well 1/4 cup shelled hemp 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp tahini (optional) handful of fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried) 1 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 cup of water 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp black pepper Add all ingredients to food processor. Pulse until well mixed, scraping down sides as needed. Slowly stream in water, 1/4 cup at a time. Only add water until you’ve reached the consistency wanted. (Less water=more chunky.) Taste and add in more salt, pepper and parsley and mix as needed. If you used dried beans, then just multiply according to how many cups of beans you use. I prefer dried beans and when I have extra time I use them!

I love hummus!!!!

When u say one big can of chickpeas....do u mean 48 oz can or ? Thanks

Sorry 16 oz can

Oh of course it would not be 48 oz, that was a presurgery batch, heck if I made that much and I was the only one eating it, it would surely rot!!!!!

Your lucky hummus doesn't stand a chance around my house, everyone eats it !

I will have to give these a try. Thanks.

Hey now, there are unflavored Proteins out there that don't taste terrible - I like the Syntrax brand.

I'm not sure the Greek yogurt would work, though it might be an interesting texture change. How much tahini does your recipe call for? My small batch (from scratch) recipe calls for 2 Tbs. and an equal amount of Greek yogurt has almost the same amount of Protein (though it is less in fat).

Anyway, if you cut the tahini out and miss the flavor just blend in a touch of sesame oil to make up some of what you're missing. To me it simply wouldn't taste "right" without it.

For a change of pace, I make dips from black Beans or cannellini beans, too.

If you want more protein from your chickpeas, make a salad with hardboiled eggs and veggies. That's what I'm eating for lunch right now.
