Method

  1. Combine Base: Place the rinsed chickpeas, crushed garlic, tahini, lemon juice, ground cumin, and sea salt into the bowl of a high-powered food processor.

  2. Fortify Blend: Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and unflavoured pea protein powder directly into the mixture to significantly elevate the protein profile.

  3. Emulsify Smooth: Process on high speed for 3 minutes, gradually streaming in the ice-cold water until the texture transforms into an ultra-creamy, pale paste.

  4. Plate & Season: Spoon the smooth hummus into a shallow serving bowl, create a swirl with the back of a spoon, then drizzle with olive oil and dust with paprika.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: Fortifying this prebiotic chickpea dish with pea protein and Greek yogurt creates a low-GI powerhouse that preserves lean tissue and extends gastric fullness to suppress food noise on GLP-1 journeys. Culinary Hack: Don't skip the ice-cold water; the extreme temperature shock actively emulsifies the fats in the tahini, creating an incredibly light, whipped texture.
