Our number one picnic rule? Resist the temptation to load your picnic basket with complicated dishes – your time is better spent outdoors than in the kitchen! Make sandwiches and wraps with nutritious dips like hummus or herbed Greek yogurt, alongside proteins such as boiled eggs, quinoa burgers, and fresh vegetables. These are easier to transport, don’t need a lot of space, and they aren’t messy at all. Bonus: no forks required!
Whether you’re a picnic enthusiast like us or are simply looking for an easy lunch to bring to the office, this beet hummus wrap is for you.
Of course, you could use regular hummus to make a tasty wrap. Or you could take it to the next level by adding extra flavor, nutrients, and color with beets. Beets actually provide 2-3g of fiber/100g serving, in addition to folate, manganese, vitamin C, iron and potassium. This means you can actually use them in your DIY beauty products, too!
Chickpeas, on the other hand, are not just a filling base for any hummus recipe. They bring their own health benefits with their impressive nutritional profile. Often included in vegetarian dishes because of their protein content, chickpeas also make a good source of folate, manganese, phosphorus and copper. They’re good for digestion and support blood sugar control. Next time you eat hummus, know that it will make your body happy.
The hummus wrap is finished with all sorts of healthy and tasty herbs and veggies, as well as salty feta that balances the flavors. Without further ado…
