- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone and in today's video
I'm gonna show you how to make a really delicious
and easy, kid-friendly hummus.
The thing that's great about this recipe
is getting kids to eat healthy is hard.
Hell, getting me to eat healthy is hard.
And it's wonderful because it kinda sneaks in some chickpeas
so they get all this extra protein, extra bean power,
mixed into their dip and they won't even know it.
It's wonderful, super easy, and I think you're gonna like it
so let me show you how.
(lively polka music)
Okay, so the first thing that we're gonna start off with
is a can of chickpeas.
Now this is just one can that's been drained.
I actually reserved the liquid because you know what,
you can use the liquid as an egg replacer in vegan cooking,
it's wonderful for meringues and other things.
It's called aquafaba,
so be sure to check out my video on that.
But we're just gonna use the chickpeas in this.
The next thing that we're gonna add is our peanut butter.
Now when you're measuring peanut butter,
it's kind of a pain in the but, right,
because it sticks to everything.
So if you take your measuring cup
and just spray a little bit of cooking spray in there
before you add the peanut butter in,
the peanut butter will just slide right out,
which makes it really nice.
So I'm gonna get my peanut butter, gonna add that in.
And there's only just like three ingredients to this dip,
which is really nice.
Okay, so we got a half cup of peanut butter.
Like I said, the cooking spray makes it really easy
to get out of there, see look how good that looks, right,
super easy, all out of there.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna blend this
in the food processor until it's nice and smooth.
But we're gonna add a little bit of extra water,
just to give it a nice whipped, easy consistency.
So first I'm gonna blend it
with just the peanut butter and the chickpeas.
(processor whirs loudly)
So we're gonna take some warm water,
the warm water will actually help
loosen up the peanut butter a little bit,
just add a little bit at a time.
So I have a cup out measured here,
I'm gonna add in about a quarter cup just to start.
(processor whirs)
And once again, just scrape down those sides.
(processor whirs)
And another scrape down.
It's looking pretty good.
Oh yeah, I think we're there.
Let me just give it a little try.
It's good, peanut buttery, packed with chickpeas,
high in protein, great snack for your kids,
and let me show you how I pack it. (chuckles)
Just go ahead and transfer it into a nice dip bowl.
Like I said I'm gonna show you how I pack it
for a lunch though, it's really kinda fun.
So like I said, super easy, simple dip, it's really tasty.
Just peanut butter, chickpeas, and a little bit of water.
(crunching) It's great.
So here's a really fun way to store it.
Just take eight ounce Mason jars,
put a little bit of the dip in the bottom,
and just put all the celery and the carrots inside it,
so it's all packed in there.
And then you have the dip and the carrots
and the celery all in one.
Only one thing to clean, easy to eat out of,
perfect for a kid's lunch.
