Key Ingredients

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
  • Any crunchy veggies you like!

Substitutions & Variations

  • 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.

Instructions

Carrots, cucumbers, celery, and bell peppers sliced on bamboo cutting board next to bowl with hummus and chef's knife

Step 1: Slice cucumbers, carrots, celery, and bell peppers into sticks about 4 inches long (or a size that fits the container you're using).

Step 2: 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!

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
