Vitamix Hummus Recipe: How to make Hummus in a Vitamix

This is a simple recipe that takes 5 minutes to make and requires under 5 ingredients. You can store in the fridge for a week if you drizzle olive oil on top. This keeps it moist. You can also freeze your chickpeas, but pour a little olive oil over it and leave some space in the container for it to expand. It’s easy to thaw in the fridge overnight and have it ready for the next day.
