If you like guacamole, you are going to love this Avocado Hummus! A healthy, filling, and delicious snack that’s quick and easy to make!
One of my favorite light meals is veggies and hummus. They are healthy, filling, delicious, and quick! I love to put together a beautiful platter of fresh vegetables with a big bowl of hummus in the middle. It comes together so quickly but the finished product looks like you really put a lot of work into it. I love that!
I must admit that usually I buy hummus – but every time I make it I ask myself why I don’t do that more often because it is SO easy and So delicious! Plus you can flavor it any way you want. This recipe is for avocado hummus – if you like guacamole, you are going to love this dip!
This recipe is seriously so easy. You just blend together a can of chickpeas with 2 avocados and then season it up! The flavors are very similar to guac, which can only be a good thing in my book. There is lime, cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne – lots of delicious flavor going on in here. The chickpeas and the olive oil give it that unique hummus texture and flavor , although you really could serve it with tortilla chips and salsa if you want!
And look how gorgeous this hummus is – I love the green color! This would be the perfect thing to serve at a party or while watching football. I know football usually involves buffalo sauce and cheese, but why not make something a little healthier while people are still sticking to their new years resolutions? And it is so tasty – this dip will definitely be a crowd pleaser. I think I found my new favorite hummus recipe!

I am an avocado addict and I love the idea of throwing them into hummus! What a quick, easy and healthy snack idea!
Thanks, Taylor! I am also an avocado addict – can’t get enough of them!
This sounds delicious, Cate! Who doesn’t love avocados. This would be delicious as a spread, on a sandwich or wrap. Can’t wait to make it.
Thanks, Katie! Great idea to put it in a wrap – YUM!
I love hummus and guacamole… but never thought to combine the two. You are genius! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks, Laura!
I can never get enough of avocado no matter how it’s prepared. I like all the wonderful spices you use and the idea of combining avocado with chickpeas. Sounds like a great dish to serve in my next party! Great recipe!
Thank you so much, Yi! This would definitely be a hit at your next party!
Genius, Cate! I never would have thought to add avocado to hummus, but this looks perfect, especially with the cilantro and lime seasonings. Yum!
Thanks, Megan! The avocado makes the hummus so smooth and creamy!
Guac and hummus – can it get any better? Seriously, two of my most favorite apps in the whole world -combined! I would love to come to your football parties 😉
Thanks, Mary Frances! I agree – guac and hummus are two of the best apps out there!
I’m seriously dope slapping myself right now for never thinking of this. Genius! 😀
So funny Hanna! I was kind of thinking the same thing when I made it – why have I not done this before?! Thanks for stopping by!
Avocados and hummus are two of my ultimate favorites. Have got to make this!
Thanks, Graham! Let me know what you think if you make it!
Such a smart idea! I’ve made sweet potato hummus in the past but never thought of avocado hummus before! Brilliant… and delicious! Can’t wait to try… my wife is obsessed with any avocado. This will make her VERY happy 🙂
Sweet potato hummus sounds amazing! Going to have to check out that recipe! I hope your wife likes this!!
That hummus looks incredible! I bet it tastes AMAZING!
Thanks, Trish! This bowl was gone VERY quickly 🙂
I adore hummus! It is one of the few dips I can sit and eat mindlessly until almost the entire container is gone. Guacamole comes in at a close second so this is a perfect combination! I love your photos by the way definitely pinning :).
Thank you so much for pinning, Rebecca! I agree, hummus and guac can be addicting!
Avocado AND hummus?! I’m sold! At the airport the other day, I watched a family throw away an unopened container of hummus that came in an airplane snack box, because none of them liked hummus. How is that even possible?!?
Hahah!! How is that even possible is a great question – hummus is the best!!! Thanks for stopping by!
I love that you put cayenne in this! My dad and I are going to make it this weekend.
I hope you guys like it Kelly! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
This is so simple and delicious. I love guacamole and hummus so just makes sense!! Love! Pinned!
Thanks for pinning, Zainab! I love how easy this recipe is – quick and delicious is just the best! Hope you have a great weekend!
This is GENIUS!!! You are seriously so smart!! I love (LOVE!) avocado and I love (LOVE!) hummus … so this is perfect! Mmmm … with veggies, pita chips, tortilla chips, on a sandwich … the possibilities are endless! Pinning for my readers now – and I can’t wait to make this! Which will be happening very soon! 🙂
Never thought of avocado hummus before and I don’t think I had tasted anything like it. I like the addition of cumin in this recipe, in general the flavors are all exciting. Cool recipe 🙂
Thank you so much, Helene!
I am so sad yet so excited. I was hoping it was made without chickpeas (I am doing the Whole30) but I can still pin this for when my Whole30 ends! I love making hummus, and my boys love avocados! Great combo!
Thanks, Miranda – and I hope you like it once you can try it! I am googling the Whole30 now, I’ve never heard of it!
I though that I had tried every kind of hummus imaginable! I love, love, love the idea of using avocado!
Thanks, Pam! Avocado in hummus is one of my new favorites!
What a great idea! I love guacamole and hummus. I need to try this.
Thanks, Michele! Guac and hummus are two of the best dips ever!!!
Yum, this hummus looks fab! Love the addition of avocado 🙂
I adore avocados. What a fabulous way to pack in the veggies this year!
Thanks, Kimberly!
