on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Dr. Praeger’s products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and creative content are my own.

My youngest son is vegetarian. I cook vegetarian meals for him daily, but sometimes when time is limited or I don’t feel like cooking, I wish I could reach to the freezer and bake some chicken nuggets and call it a day! I did that for my oldest son but for the little one, it is important I find vegetarian meals and snacks that are tasty and nutritious.

Creamy Avocado Hummus

This creamy Avocado Hummus recipe is made in less than 10 minutes! Add the ingredients into a food processor and whip up this vegan dip in no time!  Just a handful of ingredients produces the most delicious healthy veggie dip perfect to serve with many of Dr. Praeger’s wonderful products.

We love serving this Avocado Hummus with Dr. Praeger’s Spinach Littles, not only they are super tasty but also the cutest! They come shaped as dinosaurs and stars – nutritious and fun! We also enjoy them with their Carrot Puffs – another favorite at my house!

Kathy’s Notes

• I use 2 avocados for this recipe. If your avocados are not very creamy (soft/ripe), you may need to add additional water to the recipe. Add one tablespoon at a time until you reach a creamy/dip consistency.
• If you don’t like cilantro, feel free to omit it or replace it with parsley or even a handful of spinach leaves.
