Cucumber, Blackberries & Hummus Snack Box
This Cucumber, Blackberries & Hummus Snack Box recipe is the perfect, quick snack to throw together for a car ride, a day in the park, or a “fridge cleanout” day!
Cucumbers are a great source of Vitamin K, antioxidants, and water. Antioxidants are essential for healthy cell function, as is water! The Vitamin K in cucumbers will help keep your child’s bones strong and promote blood clotting. This recipe also features hummus, which is a healthy fat source that will help your child absorb the Vitamin K. It also features blackberries, which are packed full of antioxidants and fiber!
This recipe is easy to get creative with! You can swap out the hummus for another healthy fat source like full-fat yogurt, or swap the blackberries for another fruit according to your child’s sensory preferences and nutritional needs.

1/4 Cucumber (medium, sliced)
