Try it for a quick breakfast or snack.
Mix it up with different flavors of hummus and different types of vegetables depending on your mood.

Look for sprouted bread in the freezer section of your grocery store.
Using store-bought grilled chicken makes assembly quick and easy.
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This vegan chickpea salad sandwich is lemony, bright and surprisingly delicious.
Celery brings a nice crunch.
Try other mayo varieties, like roasted garlic or chipotle lime, in this fast, no-cook lunch recipe.
Serve with whole-grain crackers.
Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps
We love the retro vibe of these egg salad lettuce wraps.
Iceberg lettuce makes a perfect low-carb swap for bread to serve the egg salad.
If you prefer another salad dressing, feel free to use that instead of our honey-mustard vinaigrette.
It’ll keep you energized until dinner.
Feel free to swap in your other favorite sandwich vegetables, sprouts or greens.
Whole-Wheat Veggie Wrap
Use whichever veggies you have on hand to fill up this veggie wrap.
The avocado and hummus help hold the wrap together–and provide heart-healthy fat and fiber.
We love the crunch of the sunflower seeds and the unexpected flavor of roasted peppers.
