    Ingredients

    I've suggested the veggies I typically use below, but feel free to pick your favorite vegetables.

    Carrots, cucumbers, celery, and bell peppers sliced on bamboo cutting board next to bowl with hummus and chef's knife
    • Homemade or store-bought hummus
    • Bell peppers
    • Celery
    • Carrots
    • Cucumbers

    Instructions

    The instructions for this one are about as simple as it gets! You might need to take an extra step and make homemade hummus if you're going that route, but otherwise, it's just a matter of chopping and assembling.

    Slice cucumbers, carrots, celery, and bell peppers into sticks about 4 inches long (or a size that fits the container you're using).

    Scoop hummus into the bottom of each jar, and stick a variety of veggies in each. Don't be afraid to pack the veggies together!

    Put the tops on your jars, and store them in the fridge until you're ready to snack.

    Hint: Wide mouth mason jars work best for these hummus and veggie snack jars, but you can also use a shorter container and cut the veggies shorter. The whole idea is to have a layer of hummus in the bottom and veggies dipped into it. This could definitely take the shape/form of other containers that you have on hand!

    Substitutions & Variations

    Dipping veggies doesn't stop at hummus.

    • Hummus - Use your favorite hummus and whatever is easiest, whether that's homemade or store bought! In the photos, you can see that I used a lemon dill hummus we had recently made at home, but we love roasted red pepper hummus.
    • Avocado mash - Veggies dipped in avocado mash (or guacamole) are straight up delicious. I usually mash some avocado with lemon juice and coarse salt for a simple avocado mash veggie dip. The lemon also helps keep that avocado from getting brown for a couple days! Only downside is that it will get brown relatively quickly, even with the lemon juice... so eat up!
    • Your favorite dip! - Seriously, pick your favorite healthy veggie dip, whether it's homemade or store bought, and add about ¼ cup to the bottom of your jars. Stick the veggies in, cover, and store until you're ready to eat.

    Equipment

    For hummus and veggie snack jars, I highly recommend wide mouth mason jars! Wide mouth mason jars a super useful kitchen tool whether or not you're into canning. I use them daily for a variety of recipes like shaking up salad dressings, making overnight oats, quick pickles, and general food storage.

    Storage

    Store these hummus and veggie snack jars in the fridge for up to a week; I don't recommend freezing!

    Hummus Recommendations

    Just a few homemade hummus recommendations from around the web!

    • Roasted sweet potato hummus (from Ambitious Kitchen)
    • Easy lemon dill hummus (from yours truly)
    • Everything bagel spice hummus (also from yours truly!)
    • Roasted beet hummus (from Downshiftology)

    If you're going the store bought route, try to find hummus without chemical preservatives or other ingredients that are hard to pronounce (or sound like they were made in a lab). I love buying hummus from local Mediterranean restaurants, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Target (the Good & Gather brand hummus is so good!).

    Notes

    1. Veggie amounts. Adjust the veggie amounts as needed! Your produce might be sized differently, or you just want to make more/fewer snack jars. If you end up with extra veggies cut up, no biggie!
    2. Hummus amounts. Feel free to adjust to your nutritional needs and hunger levels. ⅓ cup is a good amount to be a filling snack, and if you're not able to finish, you can put it back in the fridge to eat with more veggies or crackers later.
