Hummus contains protein and fibre rich chickpeas, calcium from tahini, antioxidants from the garlic and lemon, and good fats from olive oil.
Most kids enjoy hummus as a vegetable dip. Different variations can easily be made by adding sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, basil, sweet potato or chipotle sauce.
