Southwest Hummus
I have a bad habit of munching on snacks. If I am into my work or watching a movie I want something quick and fast. I don’t like taking the time to prepare something. Unfortunately that usually means I’m grabbing chips or something else that’s not that great for me.
I’ve learned that a great way to grab and go is to prepare my veggies and snacks as soon as I get home from the grocery store. I slice up the veggies and put them into a container so I can grab and go.
My husband and I love hummus. We’ve tried all different flavors and brands, but this home made recipe is still our favorite.
I had no idea hummus was so easy to make until I tried it. This tastes super fresh and we know exactly what is in it.
All you have to do is toss all the ingredients in the food processor and blend them. I told you it was super easy 😉
The hummus is best when chilled before serving. Our favorite things to eat with it are peppers and Almond Nut-Thins.

I love hummus because it is healthier than other dips/spreads and it has protein for lasting energy.
