Hummus with Tomato, Basil, & Parmesan

The key to getting plenty of protein in pregnancy is finding simple meals and snacks. The topping for this is easy to put together ahead of time and throughout the week you can just scoop it onto purchased hummus or make your hummus ahead of time. No cook, that's the key!


Hummus with Tomato, Basil, & Parmesan  /  16g Protein  /  Cori Gentry  /  Healthy Pregnancy
I love bruschetta. It's what I always offer to bring to parties and potlucks... mostly because I want an excuse to make and eat it. After making a platter of bruschetta for our Birth Boot Camp sip & see I had a bowl of topping left over so I decided to top my hummus with it. It was amazing. Protein: 16g.

You'll need:
A roma tomato, chopped
Fresh basil
Parmesan cheese
Minced garlic... like... about a teaspoon I guess
Extra virgin olive oil, enough to drizzle
1/2 cup of hummus
A couple whole wheat pitas cut into wedges
Small squeeze of lemon juice
Salt & pepper... to taste

This is super easy to toss together. Chop up your tomato and basil. Sprinkle some parm over the top. Stir in garlic and a little evoo and a small squeeze of lemon juice. Add salt and pepper if you wish. Toss. Pour over hummus and drizzle a bit more evoo. Enjoy with pita, but also great with veggies!
