You don’t have to be able to sculpt melons into creatures or pears into bald eagles in order to present fun foods to your kids!  Heaven knows I could never be that clever.  But, what I can do, is stick some broccoli into a mound of hummus, and so could you!

It is our favorite way to eat raw broccoli, dipped in hummus.  Our favorite hummus recipe is this:

Ingredients

• 1 15oz can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained and rinsed
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 TBL lemon juice
• 1 TBL olive oil
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

1. Blend up in food processor.

So, give it a try! Hummus and raw broccoli is a perfect healthy snack for your little ones.  It has a delicious blend of carbs, protein, fat, and a variety of vitamins and minerals, more easily absorbed than supplements ; )
