5 Recipes - Sandwich with Hummus

It’s easy to fall into a food rut.  We’ve all done it.  Day in and day out, we’ve all been in that spot where we feel creatively stuck, whether we are making our own food for the day or packing lunches for the kids.  It can be hard to keep coming up with a variety of healthy treats, especially when it comes to making meals that are simultaneously tasty, filling, and nutritious.

But fortunately, we have your back!  Our flavor creators at HOPE are always at work, dreaming up new and inventive ways to spice up your favorite foods; and where better to start than with the hummus sandwich?

More and more people are getting hip to the fact that a sandwich with hummus is a healthier and more flavorful alternative to a sandwich containing the old mayo/mustard/ketchup combo.  Packed with nutrients and heart-healthy fats, hummus sandwiches can satisfy demanding appetites while keeping the taste buds entertained. Plus, humus contains enough muscle-building protein that it can replace meat in your meal, which opens up a whole new range of vegetarian and vegan hummus sandwiches with higher protein and nutrient density.

Healthy Lunch Ideas for Kids

This is especially important for kids.  In a food market brimming with high-sugar, high-sodium, high-fat “meals” designed to appeal to kids’ taste buds, it can be difficult to provide foods that energize them and appeal to them without unbalancing their dietary habits.  The growing use of preservatives and additives to “maintain freshness” are also key ingredients to avoid for growing bodies.

This is why we have ditched all the stale, usual condiments and the salt-packed deli meats, and set out to perfect the hummus sandwich recipe using crowd-favorite flavors of HOPE hummus—which are all USDA Certified Organic, as well as preservative-free.

In our quest to find the best sandwich hummus could make, we found winners in the breakfast, lunch and dinner categories. We also ventured beyond the traditional Mediterranean safety of the hummus pita sandwich in order to find new and tantalizing ingredient combinations.
