I used to always get store bought hummus and think I was being super healthy. While it’s a great source of protein, there are additives that I can avoid in making the dip myself. I love to experiment with different kinds but the original hummus is always the biggest crowd pleaser. As most hummus lovers do, I pair carrots with the hummus for the perfect healthy and protein packed snack.
