This creamy hummus is made completely without oil and with less tahini, which saves some calories compared to store‑bought versions and traditional recipes. By using cold water and blending the ingredients in the right order, the result is still wonderfully smooth and creamy, with around half the calories of many commercial or classic hummus recipes. Making it yourself also lets you control the flavor and texture while keeping it lighter and healthier.
