Meal prep your snacks too! – Super Simple Hummus

Who else likes to do food prep for the week? It makes me feel SO prepared.

I mostly prep to have lunches for work. I’m home in the evenings so I usually cook dinner (and save some to add to my food prep)….. buuuuuut sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking when I get home so having meal prep in the fridge is a HUGE help!

But who makes sure to include snacks when they’re doing meal prep? It’s not all about breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ya know? To avoid grabbing something on the go (calories and ingredients from god knows where) or eating a bag of chips…. *cough*…it’s important to prep your snacks for the week too.

If the healthy food is there, that’s what you’ll grab. Whatever is easiest and quickest, right? I like to pre cut any veggies and fruit to have readily available for when Lily decides to raid the fridge.

Lately, I’ve been all about the hummus and baba ganoush. Lily loooooves hummus… so, what better way to get her to eat vegetables?

Not to mention, it’s insanely easy to make and you can grab it from the fridge at any time to use as a dip for veggies or a spread on a wrap or crackers.

First tip: (And this is annoying, but important) Peel the skins off the chickpeas. They just pop right off! It takes about 10 minutes, but will make your hummus much smoother and totally worth it!
