No bean pumpkin hummus is the healthiest and tastiest 21 Day Fix approved dip recipe you’ll ever make. If you’re a lover of hummus, but you want it healthier, you need this recipe!
Confession #57 – My day revolves around a tiny blue container.
If you are on the 21 Day Fix, you totally understand what I’m saying.
Almost everything I love, food wise, falls into the healthy fat or blue container category. Avocado. Almonds. Cheese.
And hummus.
Oh how I love hummus.
I have been doing lots of research on Paleo diets and stumbled upon an idea of using zucchini in place of beans in hummus.
Life. Changing.
And so, because everyone is pumpkin crazy these days (and by everyone, I mostly mean me), I put together this pumpkin zucchini hummus and didn’t use a single bean. Or any oil.
For all my fixers, this means you don’t use BLUE or YELLOW for this hummus. It’s an ORANGE and GREEN. But the texture and taste are totally spot on.
Are you listening to me? No BLUE or YELLOW.
It’s a hummus miracle.
And it makes me dislike Autumn Calabrese a little less today. Just kidding.
Kinda.
Give this no bean pumpkin hummus a try and definitely play around with the flavors and seasonings! Make it work for you!

Stacey says
Do you eat the whole portion at once? 🙂 Or do you just put it in a green and save the leftovers?
Nancylynn says
Yes – I measured and saved the rest!
Garnet says
This sounds really good and I plan to try it this week. But, I’m in the ingredient list it says it calls for 2 TBSP of oil, which if that is divided into 2 servings, would be 1 TBSP or 3 tsp per serving in addition to the one orange and one green container
Nancylynn says
You are so right. I don’t know why that’s there – I make it without the oil!
Emily says
Tahini is counted as a tsp now, isn’t it? If it’s optional to count as a yellow, BRING ON THE TAHINI 😉
Nancylynn says
You’re right, tahini is a tsp now- this is an oldie!
