Favorite Trader Joe’s Item Combo #12: Hummus Dip & Pita Chips (and some carrots too!)
+ 
= mmmmm
Every week when I’m shopping at Trader Joe’s, I always remember to buy some of their hummus dip. It’s a simple snack to whip up and not to bad for you as well! I think that it’s also great for last minute get-togethers & unexpected guests. Having a staple like this in your fridge means you can serve someone a delicious snack instantly. Always make sure you have some pita chips on hand too. Carrots & Tortilla chips are great with hummus too.
To jazz it up a little, I pour a little olive oil and sprinkle some smoked paprika on top:
Trader Joe’s pita chips are highly addictive though- just a little warning:
So that’s why I try to balance it out and put some carrots on my plate:
Red peppers, celery stalks, cucumber slices & cherry tomatoes are some of the other veggies I like dipping in the hummus. You can add cayenne pepper to the hummus to make it spicier (or just buy their spicy hummus dip). They have a lot of great flavors that won’t break the bank!
When you don’t have much time to put together an elaborate lunch for work, this will do just fine!
