Toddler Approved Hummus
Lunches often time look like this at our house. When I’m too busy or haven’t planned out a proper lunch we resort to “snack lunch” which both of my kids LOVE! One thing I’ve tried to be good about weekly is having a fresh batch of hummus in the fridge because both of my kids will eat it (at least at the moment! This could change in a day or two!!) But for now we are loving this homemade hummus that we dip veggies, crackers and even spread onto sourdough toast. And when it comes to “snack lunch” I love that this hummus contains plant based protein and fiber. We try and serve it with some local cured meats, veggies, sauerkraut, and sometimes a few hard boiled eggs on the side for added protein and nutrients.
Anyhow, I hope you and your family love this easy recipe as much as we do!
