I designed this high-protein hummus specifically for fighting inflammation and disease. Garlic has been shown to help lower inflammation, boost immune functioning and kill cancer cells (it is most potent when eaten raw!). Turmeric, a well-researched spice, is responsible for the bright yellow color. It has been shown to help prevent diabetes and treat depression (one study demonstrated turmeric is as effective as Prozac). Leave a comment letting me know how you cook with garlic or turmeric!
Ingredients:
- 1 can of chickpeas, rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 10-15 peeled garlic cloves, roasted or raw
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- water
How to:
- Optional: Roast whole garlic bulbs in oven for 30 min at 400°F (see directions). Alternatively, if your garlic is already peeled then throw the peeled cloves in the oven. This method will only take 15-20 min.
- Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth (add water to help with blending and scrape down sides when food processor gets stuck).
- Sprinkle with herb of choice and serve.
PCOS Powers:
- garlic = helps lower cholesterol, an antibiotic, & blood cleanser which relaxes blood vessels for easier blood flow
- extra virgin olive oil = anti-inflammatory, studies show 1-2 tbsp a day can lower risk of certain types of cancers
- rosemary = anti-inflammatory, has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells
- turmeric = anti-inflammatory, helps lower blood glucose levels, anti-depressant, black pepper increases bioavailability
- cumin = has been shown to lower blood glucose and insulin levels
Yum!!! Please make for us when you visit.
Luv Mom!
This hummus was so delicious! The turmeric adds a nice subtle flavor to the hummus which is very addicting and healthy! It’s great being the partner of a food blogger because you just get to sit back and try all the great food! Thanks Dylan!
What a wonderful idea! I’ve never thought to add turmeric to hummus but I think I will from now on.
Now this is something I’ve never thought to do with hummus before, but I’d really like to try it! I cook with garlic a lot and add turmeric to curries and other dishes. I love the gorgeous colour it provides.
This looks wonderful! I will show it to my fiance, he has severe arthritis.
I bet he will be very appreciative then! Healing wishes to him 🙂
Can you omit the olive oil?
Absolutely! You can replace it with water.
This looks delicious and good for you too! I’m not the cook at home but we roast garlic everything 🙂

Hi Dylan, I just stumbled on your blog, and WOW, I love it! Wonderful pics, recipes, and I love the plant based and evidence based. Especially the ‘evidence based’ part – that part seems a little lacking in a lot of the people giving health advice online. This post in particular caught my eye, looks SO yummy!!!
