At last: A way to get your kids to eat more veggies that doesn’t involve bribery. Seriously, somebody pinch us.
Less of a “made from scratch, spend hours in the kitchen” concoction, and more of a “shoot, I”m running late and need an easy-to-assemble healthy snack” option, these adorable little cucumber cups are the perfect solution for busy moms. They consist of just three healthy ingredients, which means moms will love them. And, the fact that they taste awesome and are absolutely adorable? Well, that just means the kiddies will love them, too.
If you do happen to have time to do a little prep work over the weekend or the night before you intend to serve these, you can save yourself a few minutes by slicing the cucumber and scooping out the slices to make room for the hummus or cream cheese.
2 Hangry Moms Hack: Our recipe involves filling the cups with hummus or cream cheese, but cottage cheese or egg, tuna salad or chicken salad would work just as well.
Ingredients:
- 1 large cucumber, rinsed
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper hummus or cream cheese (these are completely customizable to your kiddies’ preference)
- Sesame seeds, to taste
Directions:
1. Wash and peel the cucumber then slice into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Using a melon scooper or spoon, scoop out the inside of the cucumber slices, leaving a “floor” stable enough to support the filling.
3. Turn cucumber slices upside down on a paper towe to drain excess water.
4. Scoop hummus or cream cheese into cucumber cups then top with sesame seeds.
