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.

Even though I'm not crazy about avocados, I might actually give this a try 🙂

Don't have tahini - can't get it readily. Can I sub with anything or just skip it altogether?
Cheryl says
Why don't you eat garbanzo beans any more...are they not good for you? Are they considered an inflammatory food?

I 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.
