The school year has begun and with it brings organized chaos...In addition to work, school and growing a small human being in my womb, I now found myself busier than ever as a dance mom, a soccer mom and a military wife. Some days this means that it's noon before my stomach beings to gnaw at my insides - reminding me that I haven't ate since dinnertime yesterday! It doesn't take the attack of mom guilt for me to realize this isn't healthy for me or our growing baby. Since I can't seem to slow down the chaos, I've been trying to find ways to incorporate more wholesome eating habits into my day.
One of the things I've found helpful is using Sunday to prep for the upcoming week. I put together healthy snack options like chopped fruits, veggies and cheese packed into individual containers to make easy snacks to grab and go. Likewise, boiled eggs are packed with protein and also easy to eat on the go. Trailmix made up of nuts and pretzels (and okay, a little bit of chocolate) is also a fun snacking option. Yet, while these are great snacks to help me eat more frequently throughout the day, they can't replace meals. Which is why I was more than happy to try the new Hummus Plus on-the-go meals!
These simple Hummus Plus protein-packed meal kits make it easy to eat for lunch, during a commute, between meetings, or after a workout at the gym. Plus, they taste DELICIOUS, combining two of my favorite foods: flavorful chicken and hummus.
This is a meal you can eat anywhere and feel good about eating because it's good for you, and you'll actually WANT to eat it - skipping the vending machine and fast food drive-thru are so much easier when you have a tasty meal option available to you! You can simply throw a package in your bag and a little fruit to snack on and you're set for the day!
You can pick up Hummus Plus in the deli department at your local grocery store, and it is available in both a 6 and 8 oz. size, which each being full of fiber and protein - all of the good stuff your body needs to feel satisfied and full, so that you're not left starving just an hour later, like we find so often with junk food.
The 6 oz package contains 23 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber in one serving and the 8 oz. packages have up to 28 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber.
The Hummus Plus line is available in five different combinations expertly crafted by culinary experts:
- Traditional Hummus + Oven-Roasted Chicken Breast
- Garlic Hummus + Garlic Herb Chicken Breast
- Roasted Red Pepper Hummus + BBQ Seasoned Chicken Breast
- Garlic Hummus + Chipotle Chicken Breast
- Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus + Oven-Roasted Chicken Breast.
In addition to being tasty, Hummus Plus is packaged to be as convenient as possible. It comes in two separate containers (hummus and chicken) so that it's easy to refrigerate, transport, and microwave. The combos can be served hot or cold - although I prefer them hot. Lastly, the kits even come with a utensil and napkin. Talk about convenient!
You can find Hummus Plus in the Deli of your local grocery store.
