Servings: 1 bowl/jar
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (400 g net weight)
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp tahini
- ½ tsp salt (add more to taste)
- lemon juice of half a lemon
- ½ tsp cumin
- 5-6 tbsp (about 60 ml) water (add gradually until you get desired texture)
Garnish (optional)
- 1 pinch paprika powder
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- a couple chickpeas
Instructions
- Drain canned chickpeas. If you want your smoothies to be extra smooth and have a little more time, you can peel the chickpeas by squishing them in a bowl of water. We usually don't do this.
- Add all ingredients to your blender or food processor and blend until creamy. Add little sips of water to get to the desired texture.
- Garnish with chickpeas, olive oil and paprika powder.
Storage
- Store in a container and cover the surface with oil. Refrigerate for a couple of days, or freeze for later.
