Basil Butter Bean Hummus [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups butter beans (lima beans) (roughly a 398 ml can)
• 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup kale (chopped)
• 3/4 cup fresh basil (packed down)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4-5 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
• 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 5-7 tablespoons filtered water
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. If using a can of butter beans, drain and rinse the beans from the can.
2. Add the butter beans, pumpkin seeds, basil, kale, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and oil to a food processor. Blend until the ingredients have broken down and are somewhat smooth.
3. Add the nutritional yeast, salt and pepper and water next. I suggest starting with 3 tablespoons of water and then adding 1 tablespoon at a time after that. Process until smooth!
4. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
