Easy, creamy, and loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and protein. What’s not to love about hummus? Hummus is a staple in our house as I use it frequently in sandwiches or wraps for my kids. I also love it as a snack with crackers, pickles, or veggies. Simple to pack also! With this variation that includes cottage cheese, we’re taking this hummus to a whole new level with creaminess and protein.
