Me, too - this stuff is so good! I just bought some roasted red peppers for my next batch. Swapping the cucumber for the roasted red peppers.

How much protein? I love hummus!

Sounds great. My question is where to get the tahini. Do they sell it in regular grocery store? If so, where?

I find it near the Peanut Butter, but some stores have it in the organic or natural section.

Not sure of the exact counts. There are lots of recipe calculators online - I think MyFitnessPal has one. The chickpeas and tahini would be the sources of protein.
