Hummus Without Tahini is one of my favorite snacks and breakfast options. It is creamy, light, and flavorful. I love having homemade hummus for breakfast with some pita bread or toast because it makes me feel full for a long time. Often I would eat hummus without tahini with carrot sticks as a snack after the gym.
Hummus without Tahini is a low-fat recipe and perfect gallbladder diet recipe. My no garlic hummus is a flavorful snack option if you have IBS and follow a Low FODMAP diet. It’s a yummy acid reflux recipe that fits perfectly to a GERD diet, and a great choice if you’re watching your cholesterol and following a low-cholesterol diet.
Ingredients
- Low fat plain yogurt: if you do not have gallstones, then you can choose your favorite plain yogurt. If you are following Low FODMAP diet, then I suggest using lactose-free Greek yogurt or lactose-free yogurt
- Canned chickpeas: they make preparation of the hummus much quicker. I made hummus with canned chickpeas, and chickpeas that I cooked at home, and I didn’t notice any difference in the flavor.
- Ground cumin
- Ground caraway
- Salt
- Lemon juice

Can You Eat Hummus on a Low FODMAP Diet?
The good news is that you can enjoy hummus even if you are following a Low FODMAP diet. The main ingredient of hummus is canned chickpeas, and they are a Low FODMAP up to ¼ cup or 1.4 oz (42g) per serving.
In my recipe I use low fat plain yogurt which is not a Low FODMAP ingredient. Good news is that you can easily substitute low-fat plain yogurt for lactose-free Greek Yogurt or lactose-free plain yogurt. This change will not affect the recipe, and you will be able to enjoy a delicious Low FODMAP Hummus.
I suggest enjoying my Hummus Without Tahini as a snack, and enjoy up to 2 tablespoons of hummus per meal. When serving it, serve it with low FODMAP friendly options like carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, low FODMAP pita bread, or pretzels.
