Finding a great snack can be a really hard quest. Sure, that muesli bar might fix those sugar cravings for 5 minutes, or the bag of chippies will hit the spot momentarily, but there are so many more options out there that will do so much more for those 3pm (or 10am, or 8pm) hunger pains. Lisa’s new Smokey Hummus inspired me to come up with some super simple and quick snack ideas that are actually packed with flavour and texture!
First up, we have a crowd favourite; quesadillas! Quesadillas are such a delicious option that really only take 5 minutes to make, start to finish. Smokey hummus, kidney beans, taco seasoning, coriander and cheese fill this one, and it’s finger licking good!
To make the Smokey Quesadilla:
My second snack is a Mediterranean inspired bagel, pulling inspiration from the garlic and lemon notes in Lisa’s new hummus. A warm sesame bagel is topped with a generous layer of smokey hummus, beautifully squeaky halloumi cheese and a quick little salsa made up of tomatoes, red onion and chives. Drizzle with some olive oil and voila!
To make the Halloumi Bagel:
Enjoy!

To make the Smokey Quesadilla:
- Spread one tortilla with 2 Tbsp of hummus. Sprinkle with ¼ cup drained kidney beans, 1 tsp taco seasoning, fresh coriander leaves and a ⅓ cup grated cheese. Top with another tortilla, and dry fry in a pan for a few minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted.

To make the Halloumi Bagel:
- Spread half a toasted bagel with 1 Tbsp Smoky Hummus. Top with 3 pan fried halloumi slices, and a salsa mixture made up on 4 chopped cherry tomatoes, diced red onion and chives to taste. Season and drizzle with olive oil.
Enjoy!
