Missing hummus? Skip the chick peas and try this zucchini version. I bet this Avocado Keto Hummus will fool even the most refined of palates.
This avocado keto hummus is so smooth and creamy, and has the perfect texture of a traditional hummus. You would never know that you were eating zucchini and not chick peas. Low carb hummus for the win!
Hummus has been one of my favorite appetizers, but chickpeas are relatively high in carbs. Back in the day I could easily take down a whole container of hummus and a package of crispy rice crackers single-handedly. Who am I kidding? I still could. But these days I’ve traded in the high carb version for a super tasty keto friendly hummus instead.
In this recipe, I use zucchini in place of chickpeas to make a delicious low carb version. The avocado was just a no-brainer, because let’s face it, avocado just makes everything better. If you are a fan of hummus as much as I am, check out these other keto hummus recipes – Caramelized Onion Keto Hummus, Balsamic Keto Hummus

But how do you know what to drink? What is the best alcohol for a low carb diet. What alcohol is lowest in carbs? I am about to break down the carbs in alcohol for you. Check out my Complete Guide to Carbs in Alcohol. You might be asking… Can you have alcohol on a low carb diet? Is alcohol keto? You might be saying to yourself “But wait? I can’t! I’m low carb” You are NOT low carb. You are a person following a low carb lifestyle. Do not be defined by your dietary decisions. Doing so will lead to a life of restriction and feeling restricted often causes us to stray from our intended path. Besides, who wants to pass up low carb gummy worms. Especially when they are boozy low carb gummy worms.

July 30, 2013 at 1:10 amDon’t have tahini – can’t get it readily. Can I sub with anything or just skip it altogether?
carol hughes says
April 15, 2014 at 2:26 pmYou can make tahini by putting sesame seeds in a blender, grinding them into a powder, and adding olive oil to make a paste.

May 7, 2014 at 7:58 amI love this recipe so much that just the thought of it makes me salivate and want to run to the store hoping to find a ripe avocado. I’m about to make my third batch now.
