@kalejunkie HIGHER PROTEIN CLASSIC HUMMUS because if you are like me and are always looking to sneak more protein into your diet, adding cottage cheese to your hummus is the way to do it! This is a version of the hummus I grew up eating, but I with added cottage cheese for more protein (which is non-traditional, obviously). You can’t taste the cottage cheese, but it adds an extra 35g of protein, AND makes the hummus super creamy. Serve this with crackers, veggies, or spread over your meats.⁣

The reason for the ice cubes - it makes the hummus extra smooth and creamy.

⁣
Makes 4 servings⁣
1 15-oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well (skins removed)⁣
1 1/4 cups cottage cheese (I only use the @goodculture brand, it is the best, and I like the whole fat one)⁣
1/3 cup tahini⁣
1/4 cup lemon juice (this is one juicy lemon)⁣
2 cloves garlic⁣
1/4 tsp cumin (not traditional, but HIGHLY recommend)⁣
1/2 tsp sea salt⁣
2 ice cubes⁣
⁣
Garnishes: olive oil, chopped parsley, a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and sesame seeds. ⁣
⁣
Drain and rinse the garbanzo well. If you have a few extra minutes, simply remove the skins from the chickpeas as well (not totally necessary but makes the hummus even creamier). Transfer the chickpeas and remaining ingredients to a food processor, along with the ice cubes. Process until completely smooth, about 3-4 minutes total. You will need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and process again. Remove cover, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Eat and enjoy! Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days.⁣
