Summer Snacking Series – Week 3: Veggies & Hummus

July 17, 2025

Our Summer Snacking Series continues with a crisp, cool, and colorful option that’s as nutritious as it is portable: Veggies & Hummus!

This week’s featured snack is a summertime classic—perfect for road trips, lunch boxes, or cooler bags at the ballpark. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein, this combo gives you long-lasting energy without the sugar crash. 

It’s easy to portion out servings into small containers or reusable snack cups. Hummus comes in all kinds of flavors, so feel free to mix it up each week for variety. For added convenience, look for single-serve hummus cups at the store or portion your own at home.

💡 Pro Tip: Cut and prep your veggies ahead of time and store them in a container of water in the fridge to keep them extra crisp and road-ready.
