Field Trip Snack Cups (Printable)

Portable cups with creamy hummus and fresh veggie sticks, ideal for easy, healthy snacking on the go.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Hummus

01 - 1.5 cups hummus, store-bought or homemade

→ Fresh Vegetables

02 - 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
03 - 1 large cucumber, cut into sticks
04 - 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
05 - 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
06 - 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
07 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes

→ Optional Add-ins

08 - 0.5 cup celery sticks
09 - 0.5 cup jicama sticks

# Directions:

01 - Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water. Peel the carrot and cut into uniform sticks. Cut cucumber and bell peppers into sticks or strips. Trim snap peas and leave cherry tomatoes whole.
02 - Divide hummus equally among 6 small lidded snack cups or jars, allocating approximately 0.25 cup per container.
03 - Stand prepared vegetable sticks upright in each cup, positioning them directly in the hummus for convenient dipping access.
04 - Cover each cup with a lid and refrigerate until serving. Consume within 2 days for optimal freshness and quality.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required means you can throw these together while your coffee is still hot.
  • They stay fresh in the fridge, ready to grab whenever hunger strikes or adventure calls.
  • Kids actually get excited about eating vegetables when they're presented this way instead of piled on a plate.
02 -
  • If vegetables sit in the hummus too long without their lids, they get soft and sad; the sealed containers are what keep everything crisp until eating time.
  • Cutting everything roughly the same thickness matters more than you'd think—it makes the entire experience feel more composed and professional somehow.
03 -
  • Buy hummus in bulk when it's on sale and portion it into these cups for grab-and-go snacking that stays fresher than you'd expect.
  • Cut vegetables at an angle instead of straight across—it sounds fussy but actually creates more surface area for dipping and makes everything feel a little more thoughtful.
