Healthy Snack Idea: Cheap and Easy Store Bought Hummus

I found this hummus on sale for $1.70-something, and decided it would be better to try than buying the $4 small container of pre-made hummus or spending time making my own from scratch. One box makes about 2 cups which is more than is stated on the box. So, this is a very good value for the price.

Simple ingredients. No problem with that! All you have to do to make the hummus is add 1 1/2 cups of hot water, and a few tablespoons of olive oil, and stir. It was ready in less than a minute. And this hummus tasted very lemony, and delicious.

This hummus is actually a little lighter than your average pre-made, store bought hummus. Definitely a great snack, or for a spread on sandwiches. I highly recommend it, and will be buying it again. But, I am slightly worried they discontinued it because I haven’t seen it in stores lately.
