Spinach Hummus

Who loves hummus?!

I sure do as you can tell from my hummus recipes like this and this one from way back (way way back before I had a quality camera). And then of course a more recent savory ~pumpkin~ one!

Mmm. It is too good. Sometimes, just some cut up veggies or homemade pita chips dipped in hummus is all you need.

But the other day we (my in-class group) had to develop and go teach a nutrition lesson to elementary school children. As we thought of what fun ideas we could do to keep the children’s attention yet teach them how good healthy can be, we thought of the great idea to make hummus right in front of them! But then an even greater idea came. It just so happen that we were teaching the lesson on St. Patricks Day, so we knew we needed to go with a green theme. That’s when I thought, what better way to make a fun, green recipe, than turn hummus green by adding spinach last?!

Wow was that a great idea. Green hummus. How fun? And not to mention tasty. Or packed with good for you iron and other nutrients.

Could it get any better than that? I can’t help to think what a great holiday appetizer this could be for Christmas, or St Patty’s Day or even Easter!

The children loved it. And that says a lot when 3rd graders like something healthy like hummus.

I hope you enjoy it as much as they did 🙂

Until next time,
