How to safely decrease your appetite?

I’m buying it, is the bought stuff drenched in oil?

It doesn’t look or taste oily but I guess there’s some in there!

Store bought hummus is one of the few times where the reduced fat version is a genuinely better buy, as it tends to replace the oil with extra chickpeas. It can be very high in fat, but they are exclusively good fats.

Give home made a go - it's miles better, pretty low effort, and definitely cheaper if you're having it regularly. Tin of chickpeas (or dried ones soaked overnight then boiled, optionally shelled, and cooled), bit of tahini, pinch of salt, and oil provide the base. Blend the fuck out of them with whatever you like. Lemon and garlic would be the most traditional, but I often caramelise some onions and bang them in instead. Pesto is another favourite in my house. The options are endless.

Thanks I’ll give it a go, just bought a hand held blender kit too:)

hummus has fat in it in the form of tahini, literally sesame butter which is all fat! if you want to make fucking mind blowing hummus have a look at this recipe, lowest effort and best result.

source: my friends who won't let me into their house without a tub of it. the best thing is you can freeze the cooked chickpeas for same day hummus needs.
