Hands up if you feel like you eat the same old foods every week? Yep, me too!
Our gut microbes thrive on a diversity of different plant foods, so I try to vary my staple meals and snacks wherever possible. This is how my Green Hummus was born, using basic pantry staples combined with some fresh produce from the garden or fridge. Super simple, great for your gut bugs and it tastes so good!

For a fun festive twist, shape hummus into a circle and top with finely diced vegetables and herbs of choice.
