[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been into hummus lately. I make a big batch on the weekends, takes only about 5 minutes with the food processor. I cook my own chickpeas but the canned ones are good too - I just prefer cooking myself and stashing in the freezer until I need them. Every day to work I take a small container of the hummus, plus either a whole cucumber cut into slices, or 1/2 cucumber plus 1-2 large carrots, cut into slices. Then just dip the veggies into the hummus -- voila, lots of protein and veggies.

When I first had this I thought it wouldn't be enough food without bread, but actually it's very filling -- sometimes I have an apple or yogurt later but often this is enough to get me through the afternoon.

Recently I tried a variation with white beans instead of chickpeas. That was pretty good too.[/quote]

NP here. This sounds good. Do you cut the cucumber in the morning before work or do it at work?[/quote]

I cut it in the morning and put it in a ziploc. Though I must say the one time I cut it at work it was awesome, very crunchy and flavorful - not sure if that was because I ate it immediately or if it was just a really good cucumber. [/quote]
