Edamame Bean Hummus

This Edamame Bean Hummus is a fresh, vibrant twist on the classic, bringing together creamy texture, bright flavours, and a powerful nutritional profile. It’s smooth, satisfying, and incredibly versatile – perfect as a dip, spread, or even a protein-rich addition to bowls and wraps. Compared to traditional chickpea hummus, edamame creates a lighter, greener flavour with a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with lemon, garlic, and herbs.

What makes this hummus especially appealing is how nourishing yet energising it feels. It’s rich in plant-based protein and healthy fats, making it ideal for supporting steady energy levels, muscle recovery, and satiety. The addition of mint keeps the flavour clean and refreshing, while cumin adds gentle warmth and depth. This is the kind of recipe that feels modern, wholesome, and effortless – perfect for everyday eating without sacrificing flavour or balance.
