Drumroll... it's Hummus, but not as you know it. We can probably all agree, there isn't a better snack for you or your kids. It's filling, has a healthy mix of protein and good carbs, is easy to serve, and it's packed with vitamins. It's also a brilliant one-handed dipping snack if you're breastfeeding. But what if your kiddos don't eat it? No sweat, add these two ingredients and they will: Peanut butter and a teeny drizzle of honey. Then call it, 'peanut butter dip' – very few kids won't eat this! Just add apple slices or crackers for dipping. Simples. What's in it: 1 can of chickpeas 1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter (we love the Meridian brand for the healthiest variety) 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 teaspoons of honey Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor (or hand blender) until you get the texture you like. hummus1-e1407346630280 hummus5.jpg Recipe and images from one of our favourite blogs, makethebestofeverything.com
