As well, it is a 100% Kids Friendly hummus variation! It has all what kids prefer: attractive color, creamy texture and really nice taste. Great to be used as spread or dip for delicious sandwiches, wraps, nachos or even as a stand alone dish.
Elizabeth still refuses to eat beans in a shape they originally grow, so this way of serving provides a good portion of plant based proteins without mentioning in details what it is made of.

Actually, I never liked the red beet. But this one this something that looks wow and I would love to try.
It indeed turns out delicious. You can add smaller beet, just for color.
You made my mouth water with the image at the end of the post! THANKS so much for this recipe! We eat a LOT of hummus, and I JUST picked up a huge bag of beets from the local market! Making this tonight!
Glad to post it just in time. Beets are seasonal in September – October, so why not to have and extra recipe idea involving this nutritious plant?!
This looks delicious! It’s technically not “hummus”, since it doesn’t have any tahini, but it probably has a similar taste because of the beans. Will definitely try it, thanks for sharing!
Yep, this one is tahini less 😉 What makes it super easy to be prepared.
I buy the white bean hummus all the time. I have eaten the red beet hummus. That is not that good. I like the white bean one so much better. I just can’t get my mouth to adjust to beets for a dip.
Maybe it worth trying a home made version of it where you can control beet – beans ratio and adjust it to perfection.
This hummus seems yummy. I only eat white beans hummus, not with the combination of beet. I would like to try this one too.
Enjoy! Sure you’ll love it!
This looks delicious and so colourful. Why only kids ? I think adults are going to love this hummus too, including me.
That looks so good! My toddlers are sooo picky. One is currently going through a phase where she will only eat dry foods so no fruit or anything that’s cold. I’m hoping this only lasts another week or so. Would love to try your recipe one day.
Good Luck with your picky eaters. Hope this phase will end up ASAP
It is so pretty! That might make my daughter eat it, LOL! I do love white beans!
It worth giving a try as it is packed with precious nutritious elements. For example beets are great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate and vitamin C. Beets also contain nitrates and pigments that may help lower blood pressure and improve athletic performance. And beans contain plenty of dietary fiber and a very good source of both folate and manganese. They are also a good source of many minerals including copper, phosphorus, magnesium and iron.
I love beets but I’m usually stumped on how to prepare it. This is a great idea.
Bon appetite!
I love the pink/red of this! What an amazing way to add a nice fun pop of color!
Yes, this hummus would work well for parties and gathering. It will totally add an extra touch to the table setup.
Yum! I gotta make this. White bean hummus is much easier on my tum and beets? Girl you read my mind!
Happy you find it useful! Enjoy!
I really love this recipe! I am down with anything with avocado and then I saw the beets!! I think this is a super meal!!!
