Carrot Sticks and Hummus

Crunchy carrot sticks served with a side of traditional chickpea hummus.

This simple pairing provides a wonderful balance of fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats from the hummus to keep energy steady. The carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which supports the mother's immune system and passes through breast milk to aid the baby's developing eyesight. Hummus also provides a gentle source of iron to help rebuild maternal stores while keeping both parents fueled during round-the-clock care.
