Alexis Joseph, the flavor-loving free spirit behind Hummusapien, is a fierce believer in joy, in seeing the world, in dark chocolate, sarcasm, diversity, and also in donuts. Alexis aims to inspire others to embrace their best self—and to make being healthy a delicious option.

“My goal is to help individual clients, brands, and restaurants foster a more nourishing relationship with food,” says Alexis.

When she’s not behind her computer writing up recipes, she’s manning the helm at Alchemy, an innovative health food cafe in Columbus, OH that she co-founded with A&R Creative Group in 2014. Alchemy is a progressive smoothie bar stocked with treats like dragon fruit pop tarts and chocolate avocado pudding. There are currently two locations, as well as a sister concept—TRISM—which is an event center, transformative eatery, and bar located on Ohio State’s campus. 

When it comes to beans, Alexis often opts for chickpeas—as you might’ve gathered from the name of her blog. Our favorite chickpea dish has to be her Vegan Mediterranean Meal Prep Bowls with lemon tahini sauce. Prep a lunch you can look forward to, or get some ideas for a few more by visiting her website!

These hearty Mediterranean Meal Prep Bowls with lemon tahini sauce are packed with bright, fresh flavors for a filling, healthy, and satisfying meal. Vegan and gluten-free!
