Our Favorite Options for Avocado Hummus
We definitely love hummus.
It’s so budget-friendly, and so easy to make in 100 different, flavorful ways.
And while we do enjoy hummus as a snack, we often make a double batch of hummus to serve in a variety of ways across several meals and snacks.
For our family, its easily packable to include while we’re away from home, but I think our favorite choices are included as a flavorful, creamy ingredient in a wrap or power bowl.
