Beet Hummus is the vibrant recipe you need this winter
Beet Hummus is the vibrant recipe you need this winter for a colorful healthy lunch, snack, or appetizer. I’m back for Sunday favorites with Cindy and Mary Ann and this simple recipe makes the list!
Ingredients for Roasted Beet Hummus
Roasted Beet Hummus
The beets make this hummus vibrant in color and taste!
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sesame tahini
- 1 can chickpeas rinsed, drained, and shelled
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice and zest of one lemon
- 1 large garlic clove, chopped
- 1–2 roasted beets (I buy them already prepared at Trader Joe’s)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Force Factor Total Beet Powder Supplement
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the skins from the chickpeas – My technique is pretty straightforward, just take each chickpea and hold it between your thumb and first two fingers and make a slight side movement and it slips right off.
- Put the chickpeas into a food processor and blend for a minute.
- Add in the garlic, lemon juice, salt, sesame tahini, beets, and blend.
- With the motor running, add in the olive oil a little at a time until the consistency is very smooth.
Notes
Put it into a bowl and smooth it out, then top with fresh herbs or I used lemon zest, Maldon sea salt, and a few pinenuts. it’s winter, so I didn’t have fresh herbs! I just like to add a little something to play off the gorgeous and vibrant pink color of the hummus.
I used 2 scoops of Total Beets and one roasted beet and then made this colorful hummus that tastes as good as it looks!
Beet Hummus is the vibrant recipe you need this winter! I made this roasted beet hummus for a sponsored post that I shared earlier on my instagram and I love the color and the taste so much that I thought I would share it here too!
What’s in Beet Hummus?
Well, beets and then just the basics of all hummus.
- Sesame Tahini
- Chickpeas
- lemon
- garlic
- salt
- olive oil
Is Roasted Beet Hummus good for you?
I think it’s safe to say that beet hummus is in the healthy snack category. There’s fiber and protein in the chickpeas and makes you feel full longer. (Read more in this article).
Beets are loaded with potassium, vitamin A, antioxidants, and iron. Plus they are low in calories.
Sesame Tahini has plenty of benefits. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals and it’s also rich in anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats.
Olive Oil has beneficial fatty acids. It’s loaded with antioxidants.
Force Factor Total Beets – A heart-healthy powder supplement that supports healthy blood flow. I made hummus using 2 scoops, but this is optional to the recipe.
2. Comrad Compression Socks
Finally, a compression sock doesn’t look like it’s from the medical supply store! If you’ve never worn compression socks, you might be wondering why you would wear them? I wear them often, but always when I travel.
What I like about Comrad Compression socks is that they come in sizes and the knee-highs just provide that much more support and comfort.
Why wear compression socks?
Reduce muscle recovery time
Relief for muscle stiffness and pain
Prevent strain, injury, and fatigue
Long-distance travel
3. Skirts, We need Skirts
Maybe these midi skirts would have brought a smile to Miranda’s face in The Devil Wears Prada! I adore these skirts and can see Cindy wearing one. Maybe with combat boots! I love how it’s shown here. It’s all about the skirt, a simple sweater, and worn with oxfords. The skirts are by Lunatica Milano. Each skirt is made by artisans in Italy. They are so beautiful!

4. Leanne Ford’s new Yoga Studio
Safe to say that I’m dying over Leanne Ford’s new yoga studio. Wow! She converted a tool shed into a yoga studio with a lot of Behr Paint in Cameo White and then the stools are from her line with Crate & Barrel. The floor cushions, bolsters and mats are all in creamy off-whites to add to the minimalism. I could go on and on, but go see it on her Instagram! She shares all the details and the before too!

5. Sakara
I saw this on a friend’s Instagram and now I seem to be seeing it everywhere and even received a postcard in the mail about their 30-day reset! Have you heard of Sakara? Sakara is a meal delivery program based on a whole-food plant-rich diet. I love the idea of the 30-day reset, but they have other plans too. Would you do this? Or maybe another meal plan program?
Force Factor Total Beet!!! I like the sound of that….I’m pretty sure your delicious-looking hummus recipe is also Whole 30?!
I saw Leanne’s yoga studio on Instagram too…soothing. And those gorgeous skirts!! YOU could definitely carry one off with a white buttondown!
We have some travel coming in the spring and I could use those compression socks.
Thank you for so many good ideas, Annie!!
Mary Ann! Isn’t that yoga studio to die for! Makes me want to covert my garage…wishing I had a tool shed!!
Annie, I have only made hummus once and it was terrible. I will have to try your recipe with the beets.
The skirts are fabulous and just my style, they are an investment if you are not used to spending that much on a skirt. However they are one of a kind and definitely make a statement. I think they would be beautiful at a party, wedding or even to pull out and elevate the everyday! Thank you for sharing!
Have a great day.
Elizabeth,
Try making hummus again, just the plain kind. I can’t imagine it being terrible??
I have a very small wardrobe, so if I did buy one of these skirts, chances are I would wear it with a t-shirt and Birkenstocks in the summer and a cashmere sweater in the winter…But one thing is for sure, I would wear it a lot! I would wear it to weddings and the everyday!

Annie,
These haute design skirts would be gorgeous on you, particularly the “midi milano” and the “gold leaves”.
The beet hummus will be on our table as soon as we can get to a Trader Joe’s.
Thanks for your Sunday 5’s,
Diney on Camano Island,
Thanks for checking in Diney! I love those skirts! I’m not sure I could pull it off, but I would like to try! ha

Hummus (yum), skirts (yay), a yoga studio (yes, please) and a plant based meal delivery (New Year’s goals) … all the things that keep me coming back! Happy New Year, Annie! xo
Juliet,
Doesn’t that plant-based meal delivery sound amazing as a re-set?

I just got some TAHINI sauce as I am doing a HUMMUS CLASS with a dear friend from LEBANON SOON!
IT is a good healthy food especially for those of us who are Gluten Free!
Elizabeth! That’s right, it’s gluten-free! Enjoy your time cooking with your dear friend!
