Hummus and Carrots Snack

When hungry, it’s common to grab whatever food is available. You’ll likely choose something less nutritious if you don’t have healthy snacks.

Therefore, having healthy snack options is essential when working on improving your health.

Carrots are a fantastic choice to keep in your fridge. While some people prefer baby carrots, I like to use large carrots: peel them and cut them into baby carrot-sized pieces.

Store these pieces in a glass container filled with water to keep them fresh and crunchy. Seal the container with a lid, and the carrots will stay crisp for about five days.

Carrots Nutrition

Carrots are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin A, and provide fiber and antioxidants. They’re low in calories and help maintain good vision, skin health, and digestion.

Hummus Nutrition

Hummus is made from chickpeas and is a good source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. It also provides vitamins and minerals like folate and iron.

Keeping healthy snacks like carrots in your fridge can help you make better food choices when hunger strikes.

By preparing them in advance and storing them properly, you ensure that nutritious options are always within reach.

This simple practice supports your health improvement goals and helps you maintain a balanced diet.
