Butterbean Beetroot Hummus

March, 2019

Butterbean Beetroot Hummus

Hummus is a fantastic high protein snack, toast topper or addition to a salad or nourish bowl. Substituting the usual chickpeas with butter beans makes this hummus delightfully smooth and creamy. This hummus is oil free as it uses aquafaba (a.k.a the liquid in the can)
