Vegetables & Hummus

Vegetables are such a great snack. It's real energy and nutrients so you feel great and don't get hungry five minutes later!

Buy a rainbow of vegetables, wash/cut them right when you get home (this is important), and store them in small containers in the fridge. My children know that it's a snack they are welcome to have any time of the day. Change up the vegetables each week to keep things exciting.

Vegetables are an especially enticing snack if there's a little hummus to dip it in (which is high in fiber and protein). Make sure to get hummus that is low in calories (around 150-200 per 100g) or make your own. Baked pita chips or fresh pita are also delicious hummus dippers.
