    Creamy Avocado Hummus with Roasted Chickpeas, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin Seeds on a Pita

    If you follow me on Instagram (@CarmysHungry), then you would know that I spent 95% of December drinking bubble tea and eating ice cream. I have definitely gotten softer and rounder during the holidays so it’s no surprise that H and I are back at the gym in January working our tushes off because we’ve noticed a dip in energy levels thanks to the whole month of sugar. 

    Creamy Avocado Hummus with Roasted Chickpeas, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin Seeds on a Pita

    As we are spending more time working out again, I wanted to make sure we were fuelling our bodies properly. That’s where this delicious Creamy Avocado Hummus with Roasted Chickpeas, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin Seeds on a Pita comes in! It’s a mouthful isn’t it?! But as I was saying, I wanted something light but filling for lunch so we could be properly fuelled to hit the gym and not feel weighed down while working out. And boy does this recipe hit the spot, especially the creamy avocado hummus.

    Avocados are filled with healthy fats and as a bonus, they contain more potassium than bananas which is great to keep calf cramps away while doing cardio. When testing this recipe, I was eating spoonfuls of the avocado hummus, it is that good. You’re not going to be able to go back to regular hummus after trying this one!

    Also, in this recipe, I’m using Avocados from Mexico as the Hass avocados are available year round. AKA you can eat this avocado hummus 24/7/365 ;)

    Alternative Ways To Eat This Creamy Avocado Hummus Meal Prep

    • skip roasting the chickpeas and swap the sweet potato for something like broccoli, peas, or carrots to skip on the oven cook time.

      Now this is my kind of recipe. I can eat hummus by the spoonful…and often do. This is the perfect wrap for lunch or dinner, and I know hubby would love this too.

      What a great, healthy meal to fuel a workout! All those great fats, protein, and nutrients. Just what I need to help with my own softer and rounder issues from the holidays. :) And I love the avocado hummus. Yum! All hummus is great, but the creaminess of the avocado is especially great.
