Strawberry Banana Roll-Ups with Chocolate Hummus

This is a great snack/lunchbox idea for the kids. Heck, even adults will like it. These roll-ups appear to be dessert-like (go ahead and tell your kids that!), but there are also a lot of benefits from the ingredients. That makes me not feel so bad about serving my kids “chocolate”. 😉

For this recipe, you can certainly use your favorite gluten-free tortillas. I used The Real Coconut coconut flour tortillas and I love them for this because they add a slight sweetness and coconut flavor. They have a great flexible texture. And because they’re made from coconuts they are rich in fiber and healthy fats. Go to The Real Coconut website to find where you can purchase these near you!

The chocolate hummus part is another great way to add protein to this treat. You’ve probably seen these sweet, dessert-like hummuses at the stores recently. They’ve become very popular. You can make this easily at home. Really, it’s very easy! The base is chickpeas and it’s sweetened only with maple syrup. So you know what is going into it and you can feel good about the real and wholesome ingredients.

To make this hummus, you’ll need a blender or food processor. Mix the canned (drained and rinsed) chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk (or dairy-free alternative), avocado oil, vanilla, and sea salt until it’s smooth and creamy. It’s simple!

There will be leftovers of the hummus after you’ve made these roll-ups so just store the hummus in the fridge for up to a week. It’s great for dipping fruit or pretzels, spreading on toast or rice cakes, or just eating with a spoon like my son does!
