What to do with hummus

Hummus is a smooth, savory spread made from blended chickpeas. It's fully ready to eat straight from the container — no cooking — and it works as a dip, a sandwich spread, a sauce, or a protein-rich snack any time of day.

Creamy, savory, and a little nutty, with a hint of lemon and garlic.

Why it's in your bag

Hummus brings plant protein and fiber from chickpeas plus heart-healthy fats — a satisfying way to add staying power to a snack or meal without spiking blood sugar.

3 ways to use it

  1. 01
    Dip raw vegetables (easiest)

    Scoop it up with cucumber, bell pepper, or celery sticks for a fast, filling snack that pairs fiber with protein.

  2. 02
    Spread it on anything

    Use it instead of mayo on a sandwich or pita, or spread it on whole-grain toast and top with sliced vegetables.

  3. 03
    Turn it into a sauce

    Thin a few spoonfuls with a little water and lemon to drizzle over roasted vegetables, chicken, or a grain bowl.

Keep it fresh

  • Keep it refrigerated and covered; use within about a week of opening.
  • Stir in any liquid that separates on top — that's normal.
  • Scoop with a clean spoon (not a chip you've bitten) so it keeps longer.
