Raw Veggies and Hummus
This is super easy. Just chop up raw veggies and dip them in hummus for a delicious and refreshing snack. You can buy hummus at most stores (but don’t forget to read the label to see what’s in it), or you can make your own by following this recipe:
2 tbsp. tahini
1 tsp. garlic, pressed
3 tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions:
Put the skinned chickpeas in a blender or food processor with the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin and blend until smooth. Add sea salt to taste. If the mixture seems a little stiff or too dry for your blender to cope with it, then just add a little water. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Makes about 1 cup.
Seeds and Nuts
Seeds and nuts are filled with healthy omega-3 fats. These are the fats most Americans are deficient in, and nuts will help you fill that deficiency. Snack on almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, or pumpkin seeds.
Steamed Vegetables
Steam some extra veggies when preparing dinner, spice them up with a little olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt , and snack on those throughout the day.
