We’re turning a typical hummus recipe into a fun and unique recipe! I absolutely LOVE hummus, but when I don’t have chickpeas on hand, I have no problem with using a can of white beans instead. Then add in some spinach for a dose of healthy greens? Heck ya! This Spinach and White Bean Hummus is delicious and a great way to get healthy fat, protein, and carbs into your diet. It’s a healthy balanced snack.

Nutritional benefits of this recipe

Here are a few of my favorite:

Hummus serves as a great snack because it has healthy carbs, protein, and fat. Pair with with fresh veggies, or healthy pita chips or bread!
Spinach is known to have “anti-cancer” properties because it has a high source of zeaxanthin and carotenoids that can flush out free radicals. It’s also rich in vitamin A and vitamin K.
Olive oil (particularly served cold like in hummus), is rich in omega-9’s, which are anti-inflammatory.

Ingredients

Great northern beans (white beans) – You can also use chickpeas. However, with chickpeas, I find that a couple tablespoons of water is sometimes needed to thin it.

Tahini

Lemon – Juice of a fresh lemon.

Spinach

Garlic – For flavor. Optional.

Extra virgin olive oil

Spices – We’re using granulated onion, ground cumin, salt and pepper

Method

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined. Don’t over-blend because the texture may become weird.
Serve with fresh veggies, pita chips, pita bread, or sliced baguette!

Modifications for Spinach White Bean Hummus

Use chickpeas instead of white beans for a traditional hummus base.
Use some fresh diced shallot in place of the granulated onion for more flavor.
Add a touch of ground paprika.
Use as much spinach as you want! Feel free to add more to taste. The recipe as-is doesn’t have a clear spinach taste, but just some color and extra nutrients from the spinach. If you want the flavor to shine through, then add more.
