Tips

#plasticfree:

  • Hummus is on my table almost every day. Not only because it's super tasty, but also because it brings together lots of healthy ingredients - like legumes and sesame. Making your own hummus also reduces your plastic footprint. If you eat one tub of hummus a week, that's almost 60 plastic containers saved per year!

Also worth knowing:

  • On vacation, the choice of vegan spreads is sometimes really limited. That's why I've often made my own hummus while traveling. You can find chickpeas and tahini more and more often, even in exotic countries. And with a bit of luck, there's even an immersion blender in the vacation rental - or at the neighbors'.
