If you have a blender you can make it. I have a cheapo blender that I use only for making garlic sauce and hummus bc the garlic smell NEVER comes out! You def don't want to use that same blender for smoothies! Just a warning LOL
Just get a can of garbanzo beans at the market. It's like 60 cents. You can get low sodium, but you'll end up putting in salt anyway, so either way. Open the can and strain out the liquid but keep the liquid! Put the beans in the blender and add juice of one lemon, a bit of olive oil (optional), generoud pinch of salt, finely chopped garlic, and any other spices you want. I usually use a salt that has tarragon in it (my fave herb). Pulse the beans and add in a bit of the liquid bit by bit. You'll only use about 1/2 a cup (guessing, I do it all by eye). But let the blender do it's work for a few secs before you decide to add more liquid. You don't want it too runny, but creamy. That's it!
Probably cost under a dollar and at the store a tub of Sabra is like $4.
