Hummus

Hummus is a Mediterranean dip whose few simple ingredients all contribute nutrients for energy: pureed garbanzo beans, sesame-based tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice. 

The fiber and protein provided by the beans stabilize blood sugar, take the edge off hunger, and boost energy. When used as a dip for nutrient-rich veggies, such as red pepper strips or carrot sticks, hummus makes for a protein-packed treat. 

Or use it as a sandwich spread instead of mayonnaise.
