Paprika Hummus {low FODMAP, GF, SF}

Finding a healthy snacks is often a hard one. For one reason or another often I find myself looking for something quick and tasty to keep me going between meals. Dips and veggie sticks a great fall back, but many prepackaged ones are full of high FODMAP ingredients like onion and garlic, not to mention all the preservatives and flavours they add.

Of all the dips out there hummus is one that is often celebrated for it's healthy ingredients, but if prepared the wrong way (ladened with garlic), it's going to hurt your belly if you struggle to digest it like I do.

Even if you don't have any digestion issues this recipe is a great one as it's super easy to prepare and is ready in minutes if you are looking for a snack right now.

Paprika Hummus {low FODMAP, GF, SF}


1 400g tin Chickpeas
1 Tab natural peanut butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tab garlic oil
2-3 Tab olive oil

As long as you have a food processor the process couldn't be simpler.

Empty the tin of chickpeas into a sieve and rinse thoroughly.  Add the rinsed chickpeas and all of the remaining ingredients except the oils into a food processor.

Turn on the processor and drizzle the garlic oil down the spout while the mixture is blitzing. Scrape down sides and add the olive oil, 2-3 table spoons as needed while blitzing until you get a smooth and creamy texture.

Serve with vegetable sticks of you choice.
