Mushroom Wrap

I could eat this three meals a day, and it's a great way to use up veggies!  I generally saute whatever I have in the fridge to al dente, put hummus in a wrap, layer on the warm veggies, top with kale, spinach, lettuce.. whatever leafy green I happen to have (in this case, it was baby kale), wrap it up, and demolish it!

This particular wrap has red pepper hummus, sauteed baby portobellos, mini sweet peppers, and kale.  Two of these are only 288 calories, with 47g of carbohydrates, 5g of fat, 13g of protein.

Healthy Snacking: Hummus & Veggies

Hummus is an amazing snack food.  The main problem I found with hummus is that eating it with salty pita chips is almost an addicting snack that I can't seem to stop eating.  Nearly 400 calories later, I have to MAKE myself close the bag & walk away.  Solution?

Ingredients:
2-4 tablespoons of hummus (60-200 calories, depending on brand & type)
3.5 mini sweet peppers (40 calories)
1/2 cups broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 large carrot, cut into dipping pieces
