I like to have high-protein lunches since high-carb lunches make me sleepy! I am sharing two recipes for hummus and chicken spread. I usually make these on the weekend and then pack them in small containers in the freezer. I'll pull a couple out each week to take to school, they're thawed by lunch. You can buy these little containers at a Dollar Tree store, and keep them in a zippy bag in the freezer. With some whole grain crackers, or vege slices, they are a perfect (and delicious) high protein lunch.
Hummus (I try to buy organic items)
2 cans of chick peas
1/3 bunch of parsley
1 lemon
1 clove of garlic
olive oil to texture
cumin to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Put all of the ingredients into a food processor. Use olive oil and lemon juice to make a spreadable consistency.
Chicken Spread
2 cooked chicken breasts
1/2 cup of pecans
1/2 cup of olives
1/4 cup of red onion
mayonnaise to consistency
Put all of the ingredients into a food processor. Use the mayonnaise to make a spreadable consistency.
