Hummus
Hummus
Chickpeas are an excellent source of resistant starch, which is considered a prebiotic as it helps the beneficial gut microbiota to grow and flourish in the digestive tract. Hummus is a healthy snack rich in protein and fibre that works together to slow down digestion to keep you feeling full for longer. Hummus is so versatile. You can serve it with flat breads, on wraps, sandwiches or toast, or with veggie sticks or wholegrain crackers.
