Turmeric Hummus

Bowl with turmeric hummus, yellow napkin under the bowl, spoon resting on the side of the bowl, wooden bowl with garbanzo beans with some scattered on the table, plate and wooden spoon in it with turmeric powder and some sprinkled on the table.

Turmeric Hummus has become a staple in my home. I don’t even think about it, I just make a new batch as soon as I’m done with the previous one.

Hummus is one of those foods that is so versatile. You can make it so many ways and eat it so many ways, you can never get tired of it. I have been making my own hummus for a very long time. Some will ask… But why not just buy it? Well… Why not just make it?

If I can make something from scratch, I’ll do it.

It feels good to make things yourself, to know exactly what went into it. I can make it the way I like it, I can change it if I want to. And learn something along the way. Even if it doesn’t turn out right the first time, do it again till it does.

Practice is the best teacher!

Bowl with turmeric hummus and crackers in the bowl and on the table, yellow napkin under the bowl, small wooden bowl with garbanzo beans and some scattered on the table, small wooden bowl with turmeric powder and a wooden spoon on the side with turmeric on and off the spoon.

But let me assure you this recipe is very easy to make. Even if you never cooked before, you can definitely make it and love it!

All you need is a food processor or a blender and a few ingredients.

Like I said, I like doing things from scratch and the chickpeas I use are usually dry. Which means I need to soak and cook them first, before I make the Turmeric Hummus. But you definitely don’t have to do that if you don’t have dry garbanzo beans.

Using caned chickpeas is perfectly ok.

Bowl with chickpeas, two garlic cloves, ramekin with olive oil, ramekin with water, salt in a jar with a lid on the side, measuring spoon with black pepper, measuring spoon with turmeric, lemon, little bowl with tahini and a wooden spoon.

Just in case you have or want to use dry garbanzo beans. What you can do is soak them over night and then boil them for about an hour, or till tender.

I wanted to share this Turmeric Hummus recipe because is one I do most of the time. Plus the only difference from regular hummus, is the added turmeric.

I just love the health benefits this beautiful root has. It’s a such a powerful food, and if you haven’t implement it in your diet, I highly recommend you do.

I’m adding it to my eggs every morning, I love making turmeric lattes, and include it in many recipes like this Turmeric Hummus.

Lets refresh on some of the Turmeric benefits:

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant properties (1)
May protect against Heart disease.
Turmeric may prevent and treat Cancer.
May help treat or prevent Diabetes.
May help delay or reverse Alzheimer’s Disease.
It can also improve Skin Health.
And so on…

As you can see, there is no reason not to include turmeric as part of your diet.

Now back to the recipe.

  • Food processor with chickpeas, tahini, black pepper, turmeric powder, garlic cloves, lemon zest, salt.
    Add all the ingredients to the food processor or blender.
  • Food processor with blended hummus
    Blend till smooth.
And there you have it. Turmeric Hummus. Can’t be any easier!

Also, to get the most of the turmeric benefits, it’s suggested to always take it with a bit of black pepper, as it increases the powerful benefits of the curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric.

But let’s not forget about the other ingredients and their benefits in this recipe.

Chickpeas. Tahini. Garlic. Lemon. Olive oil.

All these beautiful yummy simple foods that are packed with amassing properties to nourish our bodies.

Bowl with turmeric hummus, yellow napkin under the bowl, garlic head to the side and a lemon, wooden bowl with turmeric powder and a wooden spoon on the side, turmeric powder sprinkled of the spoon, bowl with garbanzo beans and some on the table.

Eating hummus doesn’t have to be done only with pita or carrots. You can sub it for mayo, or just add it to your sandwich. Use it as a dressing. Top it off on some baked potatoes, french fries dip, and etc. So many options!

Tell me if you have any special way of eating hummus or using turmeric. I would love to hear how people like to enjoy their food!

Who likes golden latte 🙋🏼‍♀️, I do!! Who likes golden latte 🙋🏼‍♀️, I do!! 

It's so comforting and I love the spice kick. Plus its so good for you. I love adding honey to it, and this one has also turmeric and ginger in it, double kick!! 
It's been raining non stop for the last 4 days, which makes it perfect for this type of hot drink. 

I've been doing lots of recipe testing, want to be more active on my blog this year. And this yummy drink will be on it very soon.

Hey, hey... I guess this is my first post for 2021 Hey, hey... I guess this is my first post for 2021! And why not start the year with delicious stack of pancakes!!! 

I don't know about you, but I don't do any January diets, or any diets in general. As I like to say, live in balance and your body will do the rest. Of course a short cleans ones in a while is good, to flush the build up of whatever you got in your body. But other then that no strict diets for me.
 
Remember everyone's body is different and one diet doesn't work for everyone!

Now, back to the pancakes! They are really, really good!!! Fluffy, light and airy, and just so easy to make. A must try! 
I shared the recipe on the blog. Link is in the profile. 

And have a lovely day.
Talk soon.

Magic with #winter_classes_contrse and #task5_wint Magic with #winter_classes_contrse and #task5_winter_classes_contrse by @contrse

This was really fun shoot. And I'm happy how it turned out. 

Winter holidays have special magic to them, making people somehow nicer and happier. Its like the happy spell for December. Ones January 1st hits the spell is over😅. 

Imagine if we celebrated Christmas and New Year every month, this would be one happy world. But actually Christmas in Russia is celebrated in January 7th, so technically they get to be under the holiday spell for longer😄. And I get to celebrate both!! Although I don't usually do, but its nice to have that option 😁.

I think no matter holiday or not, we should celebrate every month as if its a year. We should be kind and happier more then just on Christmas. And sprinkle that kindness around coz its contagious!

Talk soon.💫

I've been shooting a lot, and now I have a lot to edit, but can't complain, love every minute of it.

Now tell me, when was the last time you laughed till you cry 😂?? For me it was just a few minutes ago, watching the funny video I posted on stories. I don't remember the last time I laughed so much, it feels so good! Not that I don't do it, but this was a one good-long-happy-tears-lough🤣. 

Go watch it if you haven't, I hope it makes you laugh as much as it made me, or at least to make you smile.

Talk soon.

With every day I lose more and more hope to see sn With every day I lose more and more hope to see snow here this winter😒. Instead of getting colder is getting warmer! 
And yes, I do like warm weather but it suppose to be cold this time of the year. When i used to live here every winter we had so much snow!!! I remember when i had to go to school every morning the snow would be up to my waist! 

This is really sad, how much nature has changed in just couple of decades or so. For us it might not feel as bad, but for the animals, birds, fish.. this is devastating.
I never really noticed this when I used to live in San Francisco since the weather there is pretty much the same all year round. Although the fires in California are getting worse every year.

Its happening everywhere, and its saddening how much damage we have created. 
Will we be able to fix it? We can't get back all the animals that has disappeared, but hopefully we can save the ones that are still here and trying to adjust to the changes. Its up to us how we live and what choices we make every day.
How about you, have you noticed any changes with the weather and nature where you are? 

On another note, I'm participating in the #winter_classes_contrse Christmas challenge by @contrse, and this is #task1_winter_classes_contrse.

It feels extra quite today. Even the trees are not It feels extra quite today. Even the trees are not moving. I'm still getting used to the stillness and quietness around me... 
I like it. I might get tire of it after a while, but for now I appreciate being in it. 

I have plan lots of shootings for Christmas and winter mood, so being bored is never an option. 

Have a great day/night, wherever you are in the world. Stay safe. I'll talk to you later.

Hugs&kisses
