Recipe
Matcha Hummus
Matcha hummus is a unique twist on a classic dip. It combines the creamy texture and plant-based protein of chickpeas with the antioxidant-rich benefits of our ceremonial-grade matcha. This fusion not only creates a visually striking green hue but also offers a subtle, earthy flavour that complements the nuttiness of tahini and the brightness of lemon juice.
Matcha is well known for its concentration of catechins – powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress. It also contains L-theanine, which supports calm focus and sustained energy.
Adding matcha to hummus elevates its nutritional profile with added anti-inflammatory properties. It also offers gentle metabolic support and without compromising on taste or simplicity.
