Hummus Ice Cream Is a Thing, and We Have So Many Questions

Look, we’ve got nothing against hummus—it’s one of our go-to healthy snacks. We also love ice cream (in any form). But the latest health food trend on our radar definitely raises some questions.

Introducing hummus ice cream, a new offering at The Hummus and Pita Co.

Yes, you read that correctly. Remember dessert hummus? It’s kind of like that. *shudders*

The frozen dessert is only scooping in NYC for now, but will go national on August 1. It’s made with either almond milk or coconut cream, plus chickpeas and tahini and other ingredients for sweetness. All of the four flavors (chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream and banana-almond) are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and sweetened with dates. This is all to say, hummus ice cream may be healthy for the body…but maybe not the soul? 

Innocent until proven guilty.
