Avocado Hummus with fresh avocados, chickpeas, olive oil and lime. What makes this dip extra special is the roasted ingredients of garlic and jalapeno paired with GOOD THiNS – The Wheat One- Ancient Grains. Sprinkle some cayenne over top to make this snack complete.

My brother introduced me to spicy Avocado Hummus a few months back while vacationing in Orlando with the family. Avocado Hummus is creamy, flavorful and a smart snacking option.Ā  I wanted to recreate this amazing dip with a little less spice to make it kid-friendly. Let me tell you, homemade trumps store bought any day.

I stopped by my local Kroger to grab all the ingredients needed for todays recipe. I started in the produce to snag up garlic, a jalapeno, lime and avocados. To pick good avocados, look for dark green color without mushy parts and remove the stem. If that part of avocado where you just removed the stem is dark brown, choose another. You want it to be a light yellowish tint.

Now, time to grab the garbanzo beans. What is the difference between a chickpea and garbanzo bean? They are the same thing. I think it depends where you live for what you call these beans. I call them chickpeas but on canned goods, you will probably see garbanzo.

Lastly, something to dip with is needed so take a stroll down the cracker aisle to find GOOD THiNS for a wholesome, crispy baked snack.

Why pick GOOD THiNS?Ā GOOD THiNS start with real ingredients combined with enticing flavors (like garlic, spinach and sweet potato) and baked thin and crispy without any artificial flavors, colors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. My favorite GOOD THiNS include:

  • The Wheat One- Ancient Grains
    • New! Rediscover wheat with ancient grains like quinoa, amaranth & millet. Baked deliciously thin & crispy. Made with 100% whole grain wheat.
  • The Beet One- Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt
    • New! A baked snack with a delicious tangy twist. Root for the Beet! Flavored with balsamic vinegar and sea salt.
  • The Potato One- Sweet Potato
    • Sweet Potato GOOD THiNS are made with real sweet potatoes.
    • 60% less fat than the leading regular fried potato chip.

Avocado Hummus

You know how some foods just make you do a little happy dance. I know I’m not the only one. This Avocado Hummus does just that. It is creamy and satisfying and just hits the spot that makes you dance.

Begin this recipe by preheating your oven to a broil. Slice your jalapeno in half and remove the outer skin from the garlic cloves. I removed the seeds of the jalapeno today to reduce the heat and make this a kid-friendly snack. If your whole family loves spicy food, you can certainly leave the seeds intact. Place ingredients on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes to get them roasted.

Do you have to roast these ingredients? No, but it does add a really nice dimension of flavor to this hummus and adds some ‘M’s to the yum. Yummmm!

Place your avocados, lime juice, olive oil, salt, drained garbanzo beans and roasted ingredients into the food processor and blend until creamy. This should take only a minute. If you need to thin out the hummus, add just a pinch of water and blend more.

Place the hummus into the fridge until chill and sprinkle some cayenne over top to serve. Grab your GOOD THiNS and start dipping. We used GOOD THiNS Ancient Grains today but your favorite flavor will work beautifully.


Yum

This looks pretty fantastically delicious! I’m not even a fan of avocados, but I think I want to try this recipe. I fell in love with Hummus when I went to Israel in June. I would have never thought of this combination.

If you aren’t a huge fan of avocado, try it with just one avocado instead of two to take down that avocado flavor a touch.

This looks so yummy!! Perfect for an afternoon snack or a party. I know the addition of the jalapeno gives a kick you just don’t get in regular humus.

Yea, I think hummus can fall a little flat sometimes but the roasted jalapeno gives it a nice depth of flavor for sure.
