What does everyone eat with hummus besides a spoon.

Hummus...mmm, a favorite! Snap peas, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, and even pita chips. I’m also almost 9mo out.

i have carrot sticks and hummus or celery and natural Peanut Butter as a snack every day!

I use those cheese “crackers” that are basically just baked cheese. They’re super filling tho! Yummy but filling.

Bag of baby carrots, pumpernickel bread wedges, whole grain wasa crackers:)

Also, if you haven't, try hummus on a sandwich/pita/wrap.....hot. It's delicious and common in other parts of the world.

Hummus is easy to make. Just chick peas, garlic, olive oil, lemon and sesame paste... zap it in the food processor...takes just a few minutes and fresh is so good! (maybe a little cumin or paprika)

I have found lentil chips - baked, full of Protein, make me as happy as potato crisps, and great with hummus!

I've never eaten a spoon. :-)

I have a thin coating of hommus on a Ryvita crispbread before adding shaved chicken or sliced poached egg or Tomato or avocado or some combination thereof.

Where do you find lentil chips?

I use it as a veggie dip -- celery, carrots, radishes. Sometimes peppers. Sometimes I'll also put it on a turkey burger.

Are you talking about shortly post-op, OP? I've been wondering the same thing. My favorite hummus vehicle is warm, soft, fluffy pita but I know bread doesn't go down well for awhile, too Gummy. So I'm thinking maybe mixed in with Beans? Or just, like you said, eaten with a spoon.

No I’m 6 months out. Just curious if people use some sort of crackers

There are delicious high-fiber crackers that are made with seeds and super healthy. I like the Mary's Gone Crackers brand the best and they have a few herb flavors. Found them at Target and food Lion but I'm sure they're at other places too.

75% of Australian supermarkets have them.

[Allie589 171]

Trader Joe’s has them. Be careful, they can cause painful gas if you eat too many; however, i binged on them last year before surgery. Probably would get too full on them, especially with hummus, before it would get to that point now since the sleeve.
