Why You’ll Love This!

Like many of you, I have set a goal to eat better this year.  Preparing healthy meals isn’t that difficult but healthy snack ideas are another matter.  I have found that with a little bit preparation and planning, snack time can be healthy too.  Hummus snacks are easy, healthy and delicious!

Healthy Hummus Snacks

Hummus is one of my favorite snacks. Sometimes I buy it from the store and sometimes I make my own at home. One of my favorite things to do though is dress up store bought hummus for a quick and easy snack.  Adding a few delicious and colorful toppings to the hummus not only makes it look prettier but it tastes even better!  I love the traditional hummus as well as red pepper hummus.  I like to pick up some guacamole too and dress it up a bit.

If you prefer to make your own hummus, check out my homemade hummus recipe.

Hummus Flavor Variations

The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination! I’ve come up with some fun combinations that I really love.

Hummus with Honey and Almonds

My favorite, and the easiest, is to top the hummus with some sliced almonds and drizzle honey over the top.  Yum!!  I love the sweet and savory combo.

Healthy Snacks Ideas with Hummus

Sometimes I just look and see what I have in my refrigerator that would make a great hummus snacks topper. 

Basil, Pine Nut and Balsamic Hummus

Another favorite is to chop up a tomato, some fresh basil, pine nuts and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Pomegranate and Feta Hummus

Another fun combination is pomegranate seeds, Feta or Gorgonzola and a sprinkle of parsley.

Red Pepper Hummus

Another simple hummus snacks is to add some chopped fresh peppers to the top of the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.  A little extra color and crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does hummus taste like?

Hummus has a creamy texture that is similar to a light bean dip or a cream cheese dip. It is made from chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. It has a slight garlic flavor and usually has a bit of lemon juice in it to get it a bright flavor.

How long can hummus go unrefrigerated?

The FDA recommends that it sit at room temperature for no longer than four hours.

How long will hummus last in the refrigerator?

After opening, hummus will last about a week. Store bought hummus will last longer than homemade hummus which lasts about 3-5 days refrigerated.
