I love hummus...all different brand and varieties. I was so excited when Wild Garden Hummus came out with "single serve" packs (available in the Owatonna Hy-Vee HealthMarket). These "little guys" were a dietitian's savior on my camping trip this past weekend. So filling, so yummy, so portable…they can even go with you when you go tubing down a river! The single-serve packs appear to be quite water proof. I think I ate hummus alone or with something else for just about every meal on my camping trip. People may have chuckled…but at least I was not chronically hungry on our 5 hour journey down the river or until we reached civilization again late the next day. Yes, apples, almonds, hummus, trail mix, more hummus, and hummus on a single-hot dog are all that I ate for supper, breakfast and lunch for about one day…oh and a beer or two. The combination of fiber, protein and carbs in these foods allowed me to feel full and feel energized...while also keeping everyone happy by...packing light. Although I only had 2 bears the b vitamins and other nutrients in the hummus and nuts probably did not hurt...either. Whops...almost forgot I had some beef jerkey with me too! yumm
