This easy hummus recipe with roasted garlic and tomatoes is easy and absolutely delicious. PLUS it has the health benefits of the added marine collagen.
Time for a snack off!! I want to show you two great ways that you can add more collagen to your diet with these two simple recipes. We have an easy hummus recipe made with marine collagen that is topped with roasted garlic and tomatoes, and we have a yummy peanut butter banana smoothie recipe with plant-based collagen. So let’s get into it…
Why you’ll love this easy hummus recipe and smoothie:
- Easy: Homemade hummus is not only better than store-bought but also easy to make, and of course, smoothies are a great way to get a ton of nutrients in in an easy way
- Versatile: Get creative with the toppings on top of the hummus or don’t top it with anything for a plain hummus
- Healthy: With the added collagen in these recipes, this makes it extra healthy for you
Ingredient Notes:
Organika Marine Collagen Powder: My not-so-secret ingredient in this easy hummus recipe is the Marine Collagen Powder from Organika. This collagen contains 15 essential and non-essential amino acids to boost your overall health. Collagen is often consumed in drinks and smoothies (see my recipe below for a yummy smoothie), but I like to add it to recipes like this.
Note: Marine Collagen Powder is a great alternative to bovine-sourced collagen, but it contains fish so it is not vegan and vegetarian-friendly. If you want to make this easy hummus recipe vegan or vegetarian, just leave out the collagen powder.
Organika Plant-Based Collagen Powder: If you are vegetarian or plant-based, Organika has made it easy to add collagen into your diet too! Lots of collagens are made with bovine-sourced collagen or marine-sourced, so this plant-based powder is great to still reap the benefits in a plant-based way. This powder is made with seven synergistic plant ingredients that provide antioxidants to your body.
How to make easy hummus:
To make the roasted garlic and tomatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400F. To roast the garlic, cut off the very top of 1 bulb, exposing the top. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp olive oil over the top of the garlic and wrap in tin foil. Place in the center of the baking dish. Then add the tomatoes to the baking dish, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper. Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 30 – 40 minutes, until golden + roasted.
- Once done roasting, remove the garlic from the skins.
To make the hummus
- While the garlic and tomatoes are roasting, drain the canned chickpeas and then add to a boiling pot of water with 1/2 tsp baking soda. Boil for 20 minutes and then drain.
- While boiling, crisp the capers in a small pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Remove and set aside.
- To make the hummus combine 3 cloves of roasted garlic, lemon juice, tahini, and salt in a blender or food processor. Pulse to combine. Add cold water and blend until smooth.
- Add the boiled chickpeas, cold water, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the blender and blend until super smooth and creamy. Add in collagen and blend.
- Scoop hummus into a low bowl or container. Top with roasted tomatoes, fried capers, and roasted garlic, and drizzle olive oil if desired. Serve with crackers or vegetables.

Expert Tips & FAQ:
Don’t have a blender? If you don’t have a blender you can easily use a food processor or vice versa.
Storage: Store the hummus in a tightly sealed container in your fridge for up to 5 days.
