5-Minute Spicy Avocado Hummus

I freaking love avocados! They are an absolutely amazing source of ‘healthy’ fat. And when it comes to hummus, I love it, too! But did you know you can easily make hummus from an avocado? You make this spicy hummus avocado in just 5 minutes!

This avocado hummus is smooth, filling, and a loooot spicy. I added cayenne pepper. If you prefer you can swop cayenne pepper for hot chipotle sauce or add a little bit of ground chili! Or if you don’t like spicy food, skip this step at all! Or if you are like me, just eat it alone!

How can you serve this spucy avocado hummus? Spread over your favourite GLUTEN-FREE slice of wholegrain bread or eat it with rice crackers.

This recipe is gluten-free, low in carbs. You only need 5 minutes to make it! No cooking! Suitable for raw vegans.

Avocados are kind of fats which can help you lose weight. I know,  it sounds absurd, right? But avocados can actually help you lose weight! Avocados contain plant sterols, phytochemicals and a lot of fibre which makes you feel fuller. To meet your nutritional needs, you might eat around half of a smaller or medium avocado per day. I think that’s something easily achievable.

Avocados are an absolute bomb for vegans. They are packed with nutrients and vitamins. In fact, they contain about 20 different nutrients your body needs! In many recent studies, the avocados have been found to help decrease the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Avocados promote healthy nails, hair, and skin.

Avocados also contain phytosterols which are known for inhibiting cholesterol absorption. They help reduce the cholestrol levels and in some cases, they can reduce the risk of tumor.

5-Minute Spicy Avocado Hummus

You can make this avocado hummus very spicy, medium spicy, light spicy or not spicy at all. It’s all up to you! 1 tsp cayenne pepper which I used for this recipe makes this avocado hummus medium, spicy. Adjust according to your taste!
