We like dipping a veggie or two in some creamy garbanzo bean pate — or hummus — for a mid-afternoon snack.
Beans are a great way to keep your blood sugar levels even and tide you over between meals. You can certainly make your own hummus, yet we’re fans of store-bought time-savers too. We wanted to give you some tips on scouting out a hummus that has our stamp-of-approval.
VEGGIES & HUMMUS
INGREDIENTS:
Hummus*
Sliced veggies for dipping such as carrots, peppers, celery, tomatoes
*Tips:
1. Look for a hummus that contains only whole food ingredients. Make sure there are no ingredients that you cannot identify or pronounce. A hummus should basically just include garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame paste), good-quality oil, lemon, salt, spices and garlic. Nothing more.
2. We did some sleuthing around to see what hummus brands are most readily available around the country and came up with these options:
Tribe Classic Hummus – Organic
Hannah Organic Hummus
Wildwood Homestyle Hummus
Check with your local market to see if they carry one of these brands!
