FAQs
Is hummus good for breakfast?
Absolutely! There is no reason that hummus for breakfast can’t be delicious and I think toast is the ultimate vehicle to make it happen.
Hummus toast vs avocado toast – what’s the difference?
Well, they are definitely different, though both totally delicious and nutritious. Hummus toast starts with a base of hummus (plus other toppings if desired) and avocado toast starts with a base of avocado (plus other toppings if desired) and because both are delicious, we’re combining the two in this hummus and avocado toast!
How many calories in hummus toast?
The calories in hummus toast will vary based on the bread, hummus, and the toppings. A basic toast with hummus with bread, hummus, and a drizzle of olive oil has around 300 calories, but again, can vary greatly based on what you make it with.
What to Serve with Hummus Toast
It depends on when you’re having it. I’m sharing some ideas for both breakfast and lunches:
- Breakfast – Serve with mini blueberry muffins, air fryer hash browns, breakfast sausages or bacon, a variety of fresh fruit, and sweet cream cold foam.
- Lunch – Serve with a Greek cucumber salad, strawberry spinach goat cheese salad, kale apple slaw, simple green salad, or black bean quinoa salad.
