5-Minute Green Hummus – AKA vitamin loaded, protein rich, healthy carbs, and basically the best snack ever!
I feel like I come on here and talk about how busy life is in every single post, but please don’t kick me off the internet, friend! Life is really busy right now. We’re in the middle of getting our new house painted and move-in ready, and then getting ready to move (can’t forget about that part!). Isn’t summer supposed to be chill? I’m having to FORCE myself to take breaks and find time to get outside and enjoy the sun these days.
This 5-Minute Green Hummus is so easy to make!
With this crazy schedule, I’m finding that I’m having to modify how I eat (thank goodness for Quick & Easy Weeknight Meals) in order to get the nutrition I need. For me, the solution to this has meant lots of meal prep, having healthy snacks around (helllllooo, 5-Minute Green Hummus!), and taking a veggie & collagen supplement everyday. Major shout out to Vital Proteins for coming in and saving the day!
I used the Vital Proteins Collagen Veggie Blend in this recipe because, well, I (realistically) need more veggies and nutrition in my life. Even though I typically eat a balanced diet, a supplement loaded with vitamins, protein, and collagen is essential! What better way to incorporate it than into this 5-Minute green hummus? I’ve also been wanting to incorporate more collagen into my daily diet, since it’s a wonderful way to protect my joints and great for my skin, hair, and nails!
I also really really love their Collagen Beauty Greens and Collagen Peptides (love putting it in my coffee), y’all! OBSESSED. Be sure to check out Vital Proteins and all that they have to offer, friend!
And then come back here and incorporate all of these nutrients into this 5-Minute Green Hummus recipe for a nutritious and easy snack!

We are always on the lookout for new gluten free recipes since my daughter has celiac. We’re big fans of hummus, but I never thought of adding veggie protein powder before!

I love hummus and I love that you added some extra healthy benefits to it. Never thought about it before, but spirulina is a great way to add green color without the chemicals! Can’t wait to try it!
