Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites
Feeling snacky but don’t want to ruin your “clean eating goddess” streak? Enter Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites—a.k.a. the snack that screams, “I totally have my life together.” These little green halos of crunch and creamy goodness are practically salad in bite form—just fancier and less sad. Forget greasy chips or sad carrot sticks. These deliver texture, flavor, and smug wellness vibes in one perfect mouthful. Bonus: they’re vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and probably judgmental of your other snacks. Let’s pretend you didn’t just eat a brownie for breakfast. Again.
Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites
Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites are a quick, refreshing snack that pairs crisp cucumber rounds with a creamy, protein-rich hummus topping.

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp tahini
- Pinch sea salt
