Make this and tell me how it’s any faster to get this at the store. By the time you walk into the store, put it in your cart, pay for it…I’ll have eaten half the homemade hummus 🙂 Serve with pita chips, or fresh vegetables such as celery, cucumbers, carrots, red or green peppers.

Any chance you know the protein count for this? If not, I’ll not be lazy and figure out the answer myself. Not sure what to eat with the hummus so early in the game right now but I do look forward to crunchy raw vegetables “one of these days”…

A lot of sleevers talk about using Kim’s Magic pops as “vehicles” for their hummus, chicken salad, etc. I haven’t tried it, but it seems like a good idea. I think it’s okay to just eat it as is. I love it plain 🙂
