Chlorella hummus is a straightforward way to try green powder in a familiar dip. Chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic already have plenty of flavour, so start with one small bowl and mix the powder evenly before blending. If the taste is not for you, the rest of the hummus can stay classic.
AimGrow lists Organic Chlorella Powder in a 250g retail pack and describes it as broken cell wall. That product description does not change the package directions. Check the AimGrow listing for product details and current availability, then follow the current label for use and amount.
What you need
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more to taste
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2–4 tablespoons cold water
- A label-directed amount of chlorella powder
- Olive oil and paprika for serving, optional
Use a food processor for the smoothest dip. If you only have a bowl and fork, mash the chickpeas well and expect a more rustic texture.
Blend a small test batch first
- Blend the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and two tablespoons of water until mostly smooth.
- In a small dish, stir the label-directed chlorella amount into a spoonful of lemon-tahini mixture.
- Add that green mixture to a small portion of hummus and blend briefly.
- Taste it with a piece of pita or cucumber. Adjust the main dip only if you like the result.
- Add water one tablespoon at a time if the hummus needs a softer texture.
Mixing into a small spoonful before adding it to the full bowl helps avoid concentrated green streaks. Lemon and garlic give the dip a bright, savoury base, but chlorella has its own flavour. A test portion tells you more than guessing from the colour.
How to serve it
Serve with pita, carrots, cucumbers, crackers, or a lunch wrap. A drizzle of olive oil and a little paprika make it look finished without hiding the green colour. For a party, keep a plain version next to the chlorella batch so guests can choose.
Store the dip in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator and follow the storage guidance for the ingredients. Keep the chlorella package sealed, dry, and stored as its label directs. Use a clean dry spoon each time.
What does “broken cell wall” mean here?
The AimGrow product listing uses “broken cell wall” as a processing description. It is not a recipe instruction and does not prove a particular health outcome or complete absorption. For this hummus, the useful point is simply that the product is a powder format that can be mixed into food when its label allows it.

Blend in stages for a familiar hummus texture
Drain and rinse the chickpeas well, then blend them with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a little water until creamy. In a separate cup, mix the chlorella with a spoonful of the lemon-tahini mixture to make a smooth paste. Add that paste to a small portion of hummus first and taste it with a carrot stick or piece of pita. If you like the balance, fold it into the rest of the batch. This staged method helps prevent pockets of dry powder and keeps the garlic and lemon in proportion. Add cold water a teaspoon at a time if the dip is too thick. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly, and stir before serving if moisture separates.
Serving the dip at home
Set out the hummus with pita, crackers, cucumber, carrots, or bell pepper strips. Keep a little plain hummus on the side for anyone who wants a familiar option, and garnish the green portion with olive oil, parsley, or a few whole chickpeas. The dip can also be spread in a sandwich or served with a grain bowl. If you are preparing it for guests, make the small taste test before adding the powder to the full batch so you can adjust the flavour without wasting ingredients.

Quick FAQ
Will chlorella change the colour?
It may make the hummus look greener. The shade depends on the chickpeas, tahini, and amount used.
Can I make the hummus without tahini?
Yes. Use a little olive oil and water for texture, then taste before adding the chlorella test portion.
Can I use the 250g pack size as a recipe amount?
No. The 250g figure is the package quantity. Follow the directions on the current product label.
