Hummus and Veggies Fall Snack Recipe
Ah, hummus and veggies. The snack that makes you feel like you’re being healthy, but really, it’s just a vehicle for dip. Sure, it’s full of fiber and protein, but let’s not pretend you’re not really here for the creamy goodness of that garlicky, smooth dip. But hey, at least you’re eating something that’s technically good for you, even if it’s paired with some crunchy, underwhelming veggies. So, dip away, and try to convince yourself you’re being as healthy as you feel smug.
