Directions:
Drain chickpeas and artichokes.
In a food processor or blender add the chickpeas, artichoke hearts, cloves of garlic.
Add your spices. I don't measure- just give a few shakes - don't be shy!
Add a big tablespoon of tahini.
Add the lemon juice.
Drizzle some evoo on top.
Now add about 1-2 tablespoons of water. Put a lid on it and blend. If it isn't coming together easily, add a little more water. Depending on how wet the other ingredients are, and the preferred texture of your hummus, this will vary. I usually like mine a little thicker for dipping and spreading on sandwiches.
Taste for flavor and add more spices / lemon juice as necessary.
Enjoy!

Notes:
Use the spices that you have on hand. Turmeric and cumin really give it that true hummus flavor (not to mention serious anti-inflammatory power!)
Black olives, roasted red peppers, or extra garlic are other great variations.
You can add in a scoop of Aloha or another Green or Protein power if you wish as well.
This is the perfect item to always have on hand - healthy snacking at its best! I also love adding a scoop of hummus on top of rice and sauteed veggies.
