Surprise your tailgating friends with these Spicy Hummus Mushrooms Poppers at the next big event!

Did you know enjoying two heaping spoonfuls of hummus a day will fulfill your bean recommendation for the week?! #TwoSpoons

Beans are a great, heart-healthy protein option and contain complex carbohydrates which help with blood sugar control. Stuffed mushrooms are usually filled with meat and cheese which means a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol in one small bite. Since there tends to be an abundance of heavy dishes at tailgating events and football parties, it’s smart to keep a balance among the party foods. Adding a healthier [but still delicious!] item like these Spicy Hummus Mushroom Poppers is a winning game day play!

Sabra® hummus is the perfect option for your tailgating menu, whether it’s served on a tray with veggies or used in a recipe. Their Supremely Spicy Hummus brings the heat, so if you like spicy, this mouth-watering dip is for you. Be a good friend and give a disclaimer to others before they pop one in their mouth!

If you get hungry while preparing this recipe, just take a quick snack break…

4 grams carbohydrates [1 gram fiber]
2 grams protein

If you want to add a little crunch on top, crush up a few saltine crackers into a fine crumb and sprinkle over the mushrooms before baking. And if there’s a bit of the hummus filling leftover, use it as a sandwich spread or dip some veggies or chips into it!
