My newest favorite snack concoction — hummus drizzled with balsamic vinegar, veggies of choice, and gluten-free crackers, all topped with everything but the bagel! I don’t think it can get much better ✨

Hummus is a great plant-based protein option. It’s also great to use for a veggie dip if you’re not a big fan of veggies!
