Add it to your shopping list and keep looking. The list adds the quantities up across everything you pick.

Method

  1. Peel the carrot and cut it into batons the length of a finger.

  2. Halve the pepper, pull out the seeds and white ribs, and cut it into strips.

  3. Spoon the hummus into a small bowl, squeeze lemon over it and dust with paprika. Eat with the sticks.

Worth knowing

  • The hummus is 11 g of fat and most of the 215 kcal. The vegetables are 65 kcal for the whole 200 g, so the pile can be as large as you like.
  • Weigh the hummus out of the tub. Eating from the tub with sticks is how 60 g becomes 150.
