(Recipe) A summer delight: Adaptogenic Hummus + Lettuce Wraps

One of the greatest secrets to getting silky, creamy (and non-watery) hummus is a food processor. Seriously, it’s that easy. Add tahini and lemon juice to your food processor, and then turn it on and process for a minute or until they whip up into a creamy paste. For simple OG hummus, that’s all you need.

You, of course, you can add just about anything to it. From roasted red peppers, to garlic, to chimichurri, to sun dried tomatoes… sky’s the limit. What we particularly love about hummus, other than it being DELICIOUS, is that it’s a high protein carrier or base to plant medicines. You’ll likely not taste the flavor of the adaptogen, supplement or anything in between, and you’re getting your botanical medicine into a nutrient dense meal. Good fats + good protein + medicinal add-on’s = resilience!

Hummus is a delicious spread or dip made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and spices. It’s commonly eaten in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Now-a-days you can find hundreds or thousands of varieties of store-bought versions, and you can still use those when you’re on a pinch… but nothing beat’s homemade! 

Here’s a delicious simple hummus, beefed up with our Adaptogenic Tonic. It’s a double extracted seven mushroom tonic composed of adaptogenic mushrooms known to protect the body from stress, while also being immune supportive. You can add 1/2tsp (about 50-60drops) to the serving you’ll be consuming, and that’s a fun way to uplift the meal. You can also add 1tsp of Adaptogenic Powder which is also very tasty, and easily versatile in savory or sweet dishes.
