    Lectin-Free Vegan Sweet Potato Hummus | The Healthy Family and Home

    If you're looking for an easy, healthy chickpea-free hummus, then my Lectin-Free Vegan Sweet Potato Hummus recipe is it!

    One of the first things I thought of after discovering chickpeas / garbanzo beans were on the "do not eat" foods list for the lectin-free diet (and even paleo-vegan) was "what am I going to do about hummus?!"

    I L.O.V.E. hummus but chickpeas are a primary ingredient.  I've made a Raw Zucchini Hummus without chickpeas, but zucchini's are not lectin-approved.

    And even though you can prepare the chickpeas from scratch by properly cooking them to remove the lectins, or buy a brand that has already done that, like this one, they may not be tolerated by everyone and are still not a paleo-approved food.

    So what to do? Use sweet potatoes!

    Sweet potato is a lectin-approved vegetable and is also on the list of foods to eat for thyroid healing and health, according to Anthony William in his book "Medical Medium: Thyroid Healing".

    This is a great hummus recipe to use with veggies (both raw and roasted), my favorite grain-free chips and I even sometimes use it as a dressing on a salad.

    Before making this recipe, you will need to have a baked sweet potato ready, so you can either bake one just for this recipe, or bake one in the oven while you're baking something else and it will be ready to use the same or next day.

    After that, all you do is put everything in a Vitamix (including my favorite brand of organic extra-virgin olive oil) and blend until it's creamy and smooth.  That's it!

    This easy recipe is made with real, whole food ingredients and is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, lectin-free, chickpea-free and paleo-friendly.

      This was seriously one of the best spreads ever! Like no need to go back to Hummus and I now use it for everything. Tonight I am making a lectin free cauliflower pizza and I just might use this instead of tomato sauce. I will report back and let you know how it is.
