Hummusapien celebrates wildly delish food that happens to be good for you, too. The collection of nourishing recipes here are so much more than scrumptious--they're thoughtful, vibrant, approachable, and comforting. All eaters welcome!
Hummusapien is one of the most heavily trafficked dietitian-authored blogs on the web today. Readers come back time and time again for staple recipes their families adore, like healthy desserts, 30-minute meals, and nourishing soups.
Hummusapien is the brainchild of Alexis Joseph, MS, RD, LD, who created this site in 2011 to personify her passion for food, writing, and inspiring others. She develops, writes, tests, and photographs* all recipes herself. Her life's work is to make healthy eating fun, doable, and absolutely delish.

How Hummusapien came to be
Rewind to 2011 when Alexis was a sophomore in college studying dietetics, newly vegan, and *obsessed* with healthy eating. She started to chronicle all the new recipes she'd make and began creating her own.
But as it turns out, being obsessed with all things health can get unhealthy real quick. After struggling with disordered eating for years under the guise of "wellness," it became her mission to empower others to rediscover balance and live their fullest, most joyful life (chocolate croissants included).
Because food is so much more than fuel. It's joy, community, home, family, and fun!
Alexis began eating meat again in 2022 and while her heart will always be with a heaven-sent almond flour brownie with extra virgin olive oil or lasagna with tofu ricotta, she now showcases all kinds of nourishing meals her family enjoys. It's her greatest joy that her readers have evolved with her.
Over the years, Hummusapien has been featured in several national online and print publications, including CNN, Food Network, Forbes, Women's Health, and Cosmopolitan.
