    I looked at the Internet.
    Hummus comes from India and is made with chick Peas, they stated that some people say with garbanzo Beans.
    Both is Correct

    1 TBSP is 25 calories and no Sugar.
    Think I may try it as Walmart has Hummus with different flavors.

    Garbanzo beans and Chickpeas are just two different names for the same thing. Some people call the Chi-chi beans, too. Most grocery stores have many flavors. Tribe brand and Sabra brand both had 4 or 5 flavors. Hummus is a Middle Eastern dish, not just India.

    I mix it in with canned tuna, 2 tbs does the trick. Add tomato and whole wheat and it makes a fabulous tuna sammich.

    carrots, cucumbers .. I used to do Triscuits (so good!) but I'm horrible with portion control .. I finished an entire box once. Bad.

    Lots of great ideas. That said, if celery with salsa ruined celery for you, you might be able to eat it again if you take a stalk of celery and fill the hollow bit with some softened gorgonzola cheese. It's heavenly.

    Of course, I eat celery with salsa often, when I want salsa but don't want the calories and salt of tortilla chips. So I don't really understand the objection in the first place.

    Carrots
    sugar snap peas
    red/orange/yellow bell peppers
    cherry tomatoes
    crackers
    pita
    pretzels

    I also put it on burgers and sandwiches instead of mayo and other condiments - it's delicious!

    cucumbers, peppers, mini pretzels, Triscuit Minis... Pita chips when I don't care about calories ;)

    spread it on whole grain bread and top with veggies - cukes, peppers, tomato, lettuce etc - for sammiches

    if you like spicy, diced jalepenos in the hummus makes an even more awesome dip!

    Traditionally people eat hummus with pita bread or pita chips. I LOVE WHEAT THINS! They're just a little bit sweet so they're pretty satisfying. Also people do baby carrots, crackers, or those little bagel crisp things. Pretzels might be okay too.
