Easy protein hummus recipe

 

Easy hummus recipe is packed with protein and party ready

A bowl of traditional hummus made with Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder and garnished with parsley.

Once the invite comes for a tailgate party, block party or just to a friend’s place for some food and fun, some people may immediately start planning of the perfect appetizer or side dish for the occasion.

But not everyone has the time and talent to make a football-shaped cheese ball or cookies decorated like the jerseys of your favorite team. For the rest of us, a delicious dip or spread makes an easy and welcome contribution to any buffet.

Try this hummus recipe, which only takes about 10 minutes to make. It gets an added boost of nutrients from Nutrilite™ All Plant Protein Powder.

It makes a great dip for your favorite veggies, BodyKey™ Whole Grain Tortilla Chips or as a spread on top of this recipe for Honey Wheat Bread, which also uses protein powder.

Just don’t be surprised if they ask you to bring it again next year!
