[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case you didn’t realize, hummus is not a source of protein, unless you are eating a significant amount. The couple spoonfuls your kid is taking for lunch has maybe 1-3 grams. [/quote] An early elementary school child needs a total of 19 grams of protein a day. 3 grams (one of those 100 calorie packs, or the same amount in a reusable container) as a snack is more than 15% of what they need. That's plenty of protein for for one snack, assuming they're also getting protein at 3 meals and perhaps another snack or two. And the real need for protein in snacks is because of satiety. Healthy fat, like the 7g in hummus, does that equally well. [/quote]
