This is the best hummus recipe. I believe the quality of the ingredients matters when it comes to our nutritional needs. By meal prepping this hummus recipe in advance, it is not only a time-saver, but you won’t be left wondering about the nutritional ingredients added in. I love to sneak in as many nutrient-dense foods as possible. Let’s shout out to the star ingredients.
Spinach is Delicious in Hummus Recipe
Spinach is an excellent source of vitamins A, K1, and C, and rich in iron.
Tip: To increase the absorption of iron, pair iron-rich foods with foods rich in vitamin C. An example when serving this recipe is to serve the green goddess hummus with sliced bell peppers. One bell pepper has 74 mg of vitamin C.
Parsley Benefits in Green Goddess Hummus
Parsley is rich in vitamins A, C, and E. It helps fight water retention because it serves as a diuretic.

Chickpeas Are the Main Ingredient in Hummus
Chickpeas are a legume that provides slow-releasing carbohydrates. So what does this mean for you? Slow-releasing carbohydrates slowly digest, so your blood sugar levels are stable. None of these “peaks and dips” in energy. Chickpeas have high fiber content, which helps improve digestion, but also satiates your hunger.

"📖 Recipe"
Green Goddess Hummus Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can Chickpeas (15-ounce drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoon Pine Nuts
- ¼ cup Tahini
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ cup Parsley (rough chopped)
- 3 tablespoon Green onions (rough chopped)
- ½ cup Spinach
- 1 clove Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Salt
OPTIONAL GARNISHES:
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender. You made need to tamper down the ingredients. If using a Vitamix, use the tamper to push down the hummus to create a smooth hummus. If using a regular blender, turn off and push the hummus mixture around and down, so that the blades can create the creamier hummus.
- If you find the hummus too thick and it won’t process easily, drizzle in one tablespoon of water. Scrape the hummus into a serving bowl. Top with optional pine nuts and sesame seeds.
- Serve with an assortment of raw veggies. I love sliced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and carrot sticks. Store leftover hummus in an airtight container for one week in the fridge.
