This turmeric butternut squash hummus is creamy and delicious with a blend of sweet, smoky, and lemony flavors. It’s beyond amazing.
It’s perfect as a dip for healthy snacking and great with pretty much any meal that includes roasted vegetables, falafel, pita, bread, sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
Turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and purifies your blood, which is essential for glowing skin.
PRO TIP: Add 3% black pepper to your turmeric to improve its bioavailability and enhance absorption. A simple way to do this is to stir ½ teaspoon ground pepper into ¼ cup turmeric powder, and place it in a spice jar.

Purée it until it’s creamy and smooth, adding filtered water or more oil to thin, if needed.
Taste and adjust the seasonings.
