If you’re looking for a vegan oil free hummus that’s light, nourishing, and truly satisfying, this one’s for you. It’s creamy, high in fiber and protein, and blends together in under 10 minutes.

Not only is it easy to make, but it also helps with fat burn and blood sugar stability — two things that make snacking smarter and more supportive of long-term goals. I reach for this kind of healthy snack when I want something savory that won’t weigh me down.

Why This Vegan Oil Free Hummus Supports Fat Burn and Weight Loss

• Naturally low in fat and calories – By skipping added oils, this hummus becomes a great weight-loss-friendlyoption that still tastes rich.
• Full of fiber and plant-based protein – Chickpeas and tahini create a balanced base that helps curb hunger.
• No cooking required – Just blend and enjoy. Perfect for a quick vegan snack that fits any routine.
• Great for blood sugar balance – Protein and fiber help slow digestion and reduce cravings.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
• ¼ cup tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 garlic clove
• 3–4 tbsp cold water (add more for thinner texture)
• ½ tsp ground cumin (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Pinch of paprika or sumac (for topping)

How to Make Vegan Oil Free Hummus (No-Cook)

Tips for Creamy, Healthy Hummus

• Use cold water – It helps whip the hummus into a lighter, smoother texture.
• Want ultra-smooth hummus? Peel the chickpeas first for a velvety finish.
• Let it rest – Flavors come together beautifully after 10 minutes in the fridge.
• Pair with fiber-rich veggies – Think carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper strips for a fat-burn–friendly snack.
• Add flavor twists – Try:
  • 1 roasted red pepper for a sweeter dip
  • A pinch of turmeric and black pepper for anti-inflammatory benefits
  • A handful of fresh parsley or cilantro for herby brightness
