Hummus with vegetable sticks is a nutritious and versatile snack rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine. Hummus is a creamy dip made from blended chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, offering a mix of plant-based protein, heart-healthy fats, and fiber. Paired with colorful vegetable sticks like carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and celery, it becomes a nutrient-rich combination that supports digestive health, provides essential vitamins such as vitamin C and A, and promotes satiety. Low in saturated fats and free of cholesterol, hummus with vegetables makes for a guilt-free option. However, portion control is key, as excessive consumption can contribute to calorie overconsumption due to the fats in tahini and olive oil. A delicious and wholesome way to fuel your day, this dish is both satisfying and light for any health-conscious eater.
