How do you give LO hummus?

M&M227 · July 2012

DD LOVES it. I usually spread it on bread then cut the bread into squares, but it gets messy, any other ideas? I'd love to give it to her in different forms.

If I want LO to eat something, I basically have to put hummus on it. She LOVES hummus. She stopped eating plain chicken about a month ago and I was getting concerned on how to get her to eat protein. Now I shred the chicken and basically make a chicken salad by adding hummus. She gobbles it up. I just put little clumps of it on her highchair tray and she does well with it.

DS loves hummus too! I spread it on tortillas, ritz crackers, dip goldfish in it, and I've also just put a dollop on his tray and let him dip veggie fries in it. He always ends up messy after eating hummus.

dd2 eats it on bread. dd1 loved hummus so much that she used to just eat it by the spoonful!

I usually just spread a little on a tortilla or bread, but I've also mixed it into my avocado and tuna salad. I like the shredded chicken idea a pp posted- I'll have to try that.

I give it to we with carrot or celery slices. She dips them and either licks off the hummus or she bites off pieces.

DD dips raw carrot sticks in it. It does get MESSY but she loves dipping them!

I give it to DD on whole wheat tortilla. Definitely messy, but if we are out I try to put pieces straight in her mouth so it's not as messy.

DD wasn't the biggest fan of hummus but when we've given it to her, it was on cucumber slices.

We put it on wheat thins or pita chips. She loves it.

Thanks all, I'm going to try the chicken thing that sounds awesome. I was hoping there was some way for it not be a huge mess. Normally I don't care at all but she tends to put her hands all through her hair while she eats and her hair ends up with a ton of hummus in it... Guess there's not really a less messy way.

I have been thinking I need to invent a cap for kids to wear when eating, maybe with matching bibs. I am so tired of washing every meal out of DD's hair!

I buy the whole wheat sandwich thins and spread it on and give her a half sandwich. It is thin and stays closed pretty well so isn't too messy. She loves it! I also mix it with peas and carrots in a bowl and spoon feed it to her. She is pretty obsessed with hummus!

This might be a little weird but I put it on chicken for her. But the messiness factor with hummus is kind of inevitable!

Sometimes I toast two pieces of bread and make a sandwich (I use hummus, PB, or cream cheese for this), and give her that to eat. Much less messy. Maybe try that?

I wish LO liked hummus! He wants nothing to do with it!
