Sriracha Hummus

Kick up your hummus with a bit of sweet and spicy in this easy-to-prepare Sriracha Hummus.

When I first got my home, I bought a lot of kitchen gizmos without knowing anything about what I wanted. Most of what I chose was based on looks. It looked pretty. It looked nice. Blah. Blah. Blah.

That’s how I ended up with our retro stainless no-frills blender. After a few smoothies, I realized how pathetic my new blender was. Luckily, I didn’t use it much and I hid it in the cupboard.

Fast forward a few years and a few kids later and that pathetic blender is even more pathetic. Every time I made the kids a smoothie, the darn thing would get stuck and leak – from the bottom. I had to disassemble the pitcher and wash it after each use because the parts would get gross on me if I didn’t. It was a chore.

I got grumpy. I stopped using the blender. I started doing research on new ones. I published a cookbook. I forgot about the new blender I needed. Then last summer my  kids repeatedly asked for smoothies and I hauled out the crummy blender and cursed at it. Oh yeah, my blender sucks.

Repeat grumpy cycle.

So you can imagine my enthusiasm when the folks at Ninja Blender asked me if I wanted to try out their blender. Perfect timing! I figured ANYTHING was better than my old one.

I started using it with simple stuff, like a simple smoothie for the kids. Holy Crap! This sucker is super powerful! What would take my old blender 3-5 minutes to blend, took my Ninja less than 20 seconds.

Let me repeat: LESS THAN 20 SECONDS.

“This is so cool!” the kids cried out.

The Ninja has a big pitcher with these crazy blades. Also included are various smoothie canisters of different sizes. The 32-ouncer is the perfect size for mixing up smoothies for my 3 kids.

The power that this thing kicks out is mind-blowing. It chops up ice and frozen strawberries in seconds. It’s 1300 watts of power will make you a believer, too!

For the past month we have been enjoying smoothies, piña coladas and countless other blended treats. I am totally in love with my new blender.

I was inspired to go beyond the smoothie and made this Sriracha Hummus with it.
