Hummus | Gestational Diabetes UK
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Hummus is a great addition to the GD Diet, packed with heart-healthy fats and some protein too, it makes for a great plant-based snack or as a condiment to add to a meal.
Have a little Springtime fun by placing the hummus in plant pots and serving with carrots with the tops on. This makes for a great Easter fun but healthy treat! For little ones, use mini carrots with a sprig of parsley for the tops!
