If you have picky little eaters, this is such an easy snack to have in your back pocket. Chickpeas are packed with plant-based protein and fibre, it takes about 5 minutes to make, and most importantly… my kids actually love i!!
5-Minute Kid-Approved Hummus
1 can (540 mL / 19 oz) chickpeas, drained & rinsed
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp garlic powder (Or 1-2 garlic)
½ tsp salt
3–5 tbsp water, added until it’s nice and creamy
Throw everything in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. That’s literally it!
You can also add tahini, cumin, paprika, roasted garlic or even roasted red pepper if your kiddos are a little more adventurous.
Serve with veggies, crackers, pita or whatever your kids will actually eat it with.
