Most people like to think of hummus as an appetizer, but when done right and served alongside a good amount of veggies, hummus makes an awesome and easy vegan lunch! If you’re aiming for SUPER easy (like, you’re new to this whole vegan thing and you’re just trying to make something work) you can always just buy yourself some pre-made hummus… no judgement here.

If you’re going that route, please just make sure that you check the ingredient list to make sure that A) it’s vegan (you’ll find some hummus includes egg or milk powders) and that B) it isn’t loaded with garbage like hydrogenated oils and preservatives etc…

The whole idea here is to keep things simple, and I find that it doesn’t get any easier than a bowl of hummus, a plate of fresh veggies, and maybe some toasted pita or bread on the side… Here’s the gist:

• Hummus
  • If homemade, check my recipe and video below for Super Simple 5 Minute Hummus
• Fresh veggies
  • Whatever is affordable and accessible to you is going to be your best bet! I love bell pepper, carrots, celery and cucumbers, but you do you boo.
• Pita/Baguette/Crackers
  • This is totally optional, just be sure to put an emphasis on the veggies and let this be the side!

You might’ve seen me mention in the video that some people prefer not to incorporate the olive oil into the blend itself, and instead opt to solely drizzle oil on top. If you’re going this route, replace the olive oil with half the amount of aqua faba and then increase aqua faba based on your consistency preference!
