Houmous is just chickpeas cooked and then smoothified (ahem)!
I think you can add other stuff too it like lemon juice etc but I would try just doing the chickpeas and then adding whichever ingredient you think goes. Chickpeas are quite cheap to buy and they're free!

 

[mod-karen79]

most people bung a tin of chickpeas in a blender with lemon juice, crushed garlic and salt & pepper. really easy but i still haven't tried making my own!

cool i may try some tomorrow. tahini? is that used? not sure what it is.x

 

[flipflop]

You would usually use tahini but that has oil in it so would be synned. Free houmus is a tin of chick peas, lemon juice, garlic and you can add some natural yoghurt to loosen it a bit. You would usually use olive oil but obviously thats synned too.

so do you think it would be ok to blend it in my smoothie maker?

Smoothie maker is just a blender with a tap isn't it? If it is then it should be fine.

I made it once and it wasn't quite smooth enough, make sure you blend it REALLY well x

Found several recipes for this. Keep meaning to make it but never actually get round to it!! Must give it a go.

Appart from vegetables, has anyone got any suggestions what we could dip into it?
