Better than Store-Bought Hummus
I have a confession to make: I have an obsession. It’s with a food. A spread actually, one with a Mediterranean origin and an earthy flavor. Any guesses?
Yes, I have an obsession with hummus.
I eat it literally everyday. Ask anyone I eat with and they’ll verify this.
My favorite hummus is this simple homemade version. It only has six ingredients (including Sriracha) and takes ten minutes maximum to make. Plus it’s low-calorie and full of protein.
-tastes just as good or better
-costs way less to make
-is fresher
-has known, pronounceable ingredients in it
Basically, there are no reasons not to try this simple recipe instead of buying hummus. Especially if you're a busy and poor college student.

Step 3
#SpoonTip: If the hummus is too thick, add in some more lemon juice or water.
#SpoonTip: Add some more Sriracha if it’s not spicy enough for you.
Step 4
Give this heart-healthy dip a spin and enjoy it with a side of veggies, crackers, chips, pita, or pretzels. I say a side because this hummus is the main event, especially with a few squeezes of spicy Sriracha.
