This chocolate protein hummus is creamy, chocolatey, and secretly packed with protein and fiber, the perfect snack the whole family will love!
I’m always looking for ways to sneak more protein and fiber into my kids’ meals (without making it feel like a chore) and this chocolate protein hummus has become a total favorite in our house. It’s creamy, chocolatey, and naturally sweet, so they actually ask for it!
I love sneaking this hummus into our snack rotation! I love adding a spoonful to apple slices, or dolloped on oatmeal, or just eaten straight from the container (don’t tell the kids!). It’s a simple way to add more protein and fiber into our day without any fuss,

Recipe
Chocolate Protein Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (15.5oz) drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa power
- ¼ cup EarthChimp chocolate protein powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (soy is great to increase the protein!)
Instructions
- Blend the base. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the drained chickpeas, peanut or almond butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Add the milk gradually. With the processor running, slowly pour in the plant-based milk until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust. Taste your hummus and add a little more maple syrup or a pinch more salt if needed.
- Serve and enjoy. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy as a dip with fruit, spread on toast, or dollop on oatmeal or pancakes for a chocolatey protein boost!
