Hummus with
Dippable Veggies
Here’s Why
Hummus is a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Dig in with a tray of carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, celery, or parmesan crisps for a full-bodied crunch without the extra carbs or calories.

Baked Turkey Meatballs
Here’s Why
Instead of packing your snack with the calories and refined sugar found in traditional ground beef meatballs with BBQ sauce, try baking low-fat turkey balls instead! Conscious dipping sauces like plain greek yogurt and hot harissa will turn this dish into a total slam dunk.

Cucumber Bagel Bites
Here’s Why
