    I love raw Kohlrabi cut into thin slices for dipping. It is ridiculous how juicy and crunchy Kohlrabi is. Most underrated veggie ever.

    I like the Terra exotic vegetable chips! They are so good, or home-made sweet potato chips!

    Lavash! Cut into square and bake at 425 until crispy. Big sheet of lavash = lots of chip squares for around 200 cals.

    There really isn't a healthy chip or cracker. Thats why they are off the menu list in my home pretty much. Anything a machine makes is not what i choose to put in my mouth, Raw foods are your best choice, meat, fruits, veggies,

    I love making my own sweet potato chips! Haven't tried them with hummus though.

    I love pita bread (pretty low cal) or cucumbers/celery/carrots, etc.

    I think that some of these other suggestions are good though.

    Also, hummus is great. Just make sure that you're trying out a good brand. Some of the store-brands are no good, and others are much better (tasting and for you)!.

    I know that I am probably in the minority here, but I recently tried hummus (roasted garlic flavor) and did not care for it. What am I missing about the whole hummus thing?:huh:

    I HATED the roasted red pepper one, but I LOVE the jalepeno! esp. with pita chips! YUMMY :) try another flavour!

    I have tried them and they do taste really good!

    This is one of my favourite blogs. Dani is really creative and inspirational. I am vegetarian, and I like that I can adapt many of her recipes.

    I completely agree! I like chickpeas but they are what they are, a tasteless filler.

    I've had unhealthy hummus with lots of oil and healthy all with lots of seasonings either homemade or professionally bought and it's all gross to me.
    You are not alone :)

    Consider trying other flavors. I love the roasted garlic, but hate "creamy bell pepper" flavored. But I also don't care for peppers much so maybe that's it :p

    To the OP: I finish off all of my hummus using carrots. It's my main way of getting veggies during the day as a snack or for lunch!

    I like the microwave-in-the-bag green beans. Another thing I do is cook brussels sprouts and mix a tablespoon or two of hummus with them. Yummy, fiiling, and low calorie.

    I also use hummus in place of mayonnaise on sandwiches.

    Wild Chips - Red Quinoa and Chia Tortilla - those are my favorite. I get them at Sam's Club - low in sodium but very tasty.

    I love hummus, so I'm constantly looking for healthy options to dip in it! Some of my favorites are carrot sticks, celery sticks, sugar snap peas, raw broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes,and green and red pepper slices. If you are looking for crackers or chips, you could try the Quaker Pop Chips that are just lightly salted with sea salt, whole wheat crackers, baked pita chips, or you could even try making your own kale or sweet potato chips (google recipes, or search on Pinterest. There are so many yummy, super easy recipes out there!) Also, the baked and lighlty salted green beans are really crunchy and yummy in it! If you are going with chips/crackers over veggies, just look for the healthier options with lower sodium content! :)

    Frito's are one of the cleanest chips out there. High fat, cals so portion control is super important. I usually use celery, cucumbers, and raw brussel sprouts (cut in half) - all provide good crunch.
