A note on Blender: In my opinion, the blender is the best way to make the creamiest hummus. It will also be easier to make small amounts of hummus if you use a blender in a small bowl. I actually bought a small compact blender (like a Nutribullet or Ninja) just for this reason to make dips and sauces and love it! I cannot recommend it enough.
Health Advice: Legumes (chickpeas) and grains (bread; preferably whole wheat) are a great combo. They are complementary proteins because when you combine them you get all the essential amino acids.
