Let’s make hummus from scratch, because:

1. It’s super easy to make! – To make regular hummus you need only 4 ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and fresh lemon (I always add salt, cumin and garlic).
2. It’s super delicious! – The jalapeño peppers add a ton of flavor, vitamin C and A, with a very little impact on calories.
3. It’s super healthy! – It has almost 50 gr of protein! without the unwanted ingredients that come with it when you buy it in the store. So!

Here we go:

Ingredients with their approximate protein breakdown:

• 3 Jalapeno Peppers ~1 g protein
• 400 gr Chickpeas ~36 g protein
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil -0 g protein
• 1 Lemon (squeezed) ~1 g protein
• 1 clove Garlic ~0.2 g protein
• 1 tsp Salt – 0 g protein
• 1 tsp Cumin ~0.2 g protein
• 1/4 cup Tahini ~10 g protein

Estimated total protein:
≈ 48 g protein

Notes*
-Most of the protein here comes from chickpeas and tahini.
-You can add tofu for an even more protein.
-Jalapeño peppers are low in calories but rich in nutrients and beneficial plant compounds. They boost metabolism, support fat burning, and help reduce appetite. Jalapeños are also high in vitamin C and vitamin A, supporting immune function, skin health, and eye health, while their antioxidants help fight inflammation and oxidative stress. They contribute to heart health by improving circulation and cholesterol levels, and it’s even used for pain relief in topical creams. However, eating large amounts can irritate the stomach or trigger heartburn in sensitive individuals, so be careful.

Directions: (this is how easy it is)

1. PREHEAT YOUR OVEN ON 400 f.
2. PLACE THE JALAPENO PEPPERS, ONION, GARLIC ON A BAKING SHEET.
3. DRIZZLE CUMMIN AND OLIVE OIL.
4. BAKE FOR 30 min.
5. TAKE OUT THE SEEDS AND THE STALK.
6. BLEND ALL THE INGREDIENTS.
7. ENJOY.
