Hummus is a middle eastern dish that has become widely popular thanks to its great taste and many health benefits. Store-bought hummus is packed with healthy fats and protein, but it’s also high in calories. With that said, here are three low-calorie hummus dishes you can prepare at home.

Traditional Hummus

Even if you’re not in the mood for experimenting, you can still easily stick to a traditional hummus that’s made with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice. To cut calories, just omit some olive oil and use low-fat yogurt instead.

Guacamole Hummus

A refreshing and tasty combination of two popular dips, this guacamole hummus is the perfect low-calorie snack you can enjoy anytime without feeling guilty. It’s also the perfect recipe to use up those ripe avocados in the kitchen, and you can store it in the fridge for a few days.

Carrot Hummus

This is an unexpected but super healthy hummus recipe that can be enjoyed as a tasty dip or even a spread for sandwiches. Carrot hummus is the perfect excuse and a great way to include more carrots into your diet, because it’s extremely delicious.
