Are you a hummus freak like me!? I love trying all the new flavors I find at the store. This Mango Sriracha Hummus recipe is inspired by Roots hummus (same flavor)! This recipe is easy and oil-free, which makes it healthier than most store-bought hummus brands like Sabra. This recipe is also super easy and much more affordable than purchasing it at the store. Versatile and great for all health goals!
Ingredient Selection Tips
Mango and Lime
Fresh and ripe mangoes are easy to recognize – they have a pleasant, sweet smell. You can buy organic if you please, but organic is less important for these fruits as they have thick skins and we will not be using the zest.
Tahini
While I have yet to see tahini with more than one ingredient, be sure “sesame seeds” is the only ingredient listed. Make sure you stir the tahini well before using. I like the tahini below because you can squeeze it out and requires much less mixing.
Salt
These days we can find different types of salt, although the main ingredient in the salt is sodium chloride. If desired, you can find salt with additional minerals. Himalayan pink salt also contains potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Though the consensus among health experts is that there is no one best or healthiest salt, so spending additional money on a specialty salt may not be necessary.
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
If buying canned, look for low sodium beans. I am unable to find substantial evidence that an organic variety is worth the additional cost.
Noteworthy Health Benefits
Mango
Mango fruit varies in size, shape, sweetness, and color. Produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica, mango has been cultivated since ancient times. Mango is a vitamin and mineral bomb containing vitamin C, vitamin A, B9, E, K, also calcium, phosphorus, potassium – supports skin health, supports eye health, and reduces the risk of heart disease.
Tahini
Tahini paste is made from sesame seeds and provides important nutrients like thiamin, niacin, manganese, copper, and phosphorus. Thanks to these micronutrients, healthy fats, and antioxidants, tahini promotes digestive health, lowers cholesterol, and improves heart health.
Lime
Lime is a loaded with vitamin C, along with iron, calcium, vitamin B6, and potassium. Lime is also a good source of antioxidants that boosts immunity, may prevent kidney stones, and increases iron absorption.
Diet Preference Tweaks
Low Sodium
If you are moderating your salt intake, be sure to get a low sodium can of beans or make beans from dry instead. You can also consider omitting any extra salt.
🌟I Recommend the Vitamix for This Recipe
If you’re serious about smoothies, sauces, or silky soups, the Vitamix blender is a total game-changer. I use mine in tons of recipes — including this one — and it blends like a dream. It’s an investment that’s paid for itself over and over in time saved and textures perfected. 😍
