    I use it instead of butter as a spread for toast or bagel in the morning. Gives a hit of protein for the day and tastes yummy!

    If you have access to Costco, they carry a pine nut hummus that I think is very tasty. It comes in a big portion, but if you like it this is a good cheaper option.

    Its kind of hard to explain what it tastes like. Its a sort of creamy dip made of chickpeas, usually tahini sauce, olive oil, garlic, etc. I can't really explain the taste but its yummy, I love it. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

    I like hummus with cucumbers and bellpeppers! Also its really good with pita and pita chips, and carrots as well.

    I like Sabra.
    Supremely Spicy and Roasted Red Pepper. I find it in the deli section at my grocery store.

    I get a bag of pita bread, bake it for a few minutes until it becomes crispy and dip.

    Thank you everyone for all your suggestions!!! I can't WAIT to try hummus! I will be getting the roasted red pepper & I will also pick up some pita bread cause that's how most of y'all ate it or with veggies (which I always have on hand). I will let y'all know what I think! :)

    It's 10000 times better at restaurants. I'm not really a fan of store-bought hummus; the consistency is all off.

    I've only tried the kinds at Walmart and have not found any that I like. It does not have a good flavor to me. Good luck.

    It's super easy to make. I blend the chickpeas, EVOO, tons of garlic, with red and orange peppers and eat it on almost anything! Super cheap. I've actually never had store bought so I don't know how it compares.

    I make my own at home so I can control the flavor and fat content.

    I make my own as well. However, if you choose to buy it from the store, I recommend choosing one with no additives, no preservatives.

    I've tried to make my own but can never get it quite how I like it; do you use a food processor or a blender? I think I'm going to try a blender because I love a more liquid consistency hummus.

    The kind they have at Whole Foods isn't too bad, but I think it's a local brand.

    I use a food processor, but I don't own a high power blender (like a vitamix) or I would use it.
