Healthy Fast Food Fix
If you’re anything like me you want food that is healthy, simple, and quick to make. I love good food, but I don’t love slaving in the kitchen for hours only to end up with tons of dirty dishes that I have to wash – by hand – all by myself.
So when everyone in the house is hungry and wanting something fast, instead of reaching for potato chips I chop up some fresh veggies and pair them with some hummus. It’s simple, quick, healthy, and is something everyone in the house loves to eat – which is pretty miraculous!
Michelle’s Easy Two Bean Hummus
This hummus recipe was born when I wanted to make hummus but didn’t have enough garbanzo beans in the pantry. So instead of making a batch of black bean hummus – I really didn’t feel like soaking and cooking the beans – I paired a can of organic garbanzo beans with some organic pinto beans, and the result was very good. So here’s the recipe. Enjoy! 
Ingredients:
- 1 – 15 ounce can organic garbanzo beans
- 1 – 15 ounce can organic pinto beans
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon course sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh lemon juice to taste
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
Directions:
Drain beans into a bowl or large measuring cup, reserving the liquid.
Place all ingredients into a food processor, and process until desired consistency – add reserved liquid if necessary.
Serve drizzled with a little olive oil, and eat with your favorite fresh veggies or breads.

Hummus is a huge hit around our home. I’ll have to try your recipe, it sounds delicious.
Thanks Lori,
Let me know how you like it if you give it a try. It’s so easy.
Peace.
I wouldn’t actually think of combining two kinds of beans in a hummus. Genius!
Thanks Miriam! It was accidental, but very good. In fact I made it that way again this afternoon, and it was even better than the first time.
Thanks for the visit, and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Oh I love hummus and this sounds yummy!Hopping over from SITS Hugs
Yum, we love hummus here! I’ve never made my own, but I totally should!
Hi Lisa,
Hummus is so easy to make, once you try it you probably won’t buy it again.
Here’s a tip: If you really like the taste of traditional Mediterranean/Middle Eastern hummus, use tahini paste. It’s made from sesame seeds.
