I love hummus, salsa, spreads, tapenade, etc. They are usually eaten with crackers, breads, chips but I am looking for something healthier to eat them with. I have used whole wheat pita bread (cripsed in the oven) and they do taste great, but I am looking for something already prepared since I don't want to heat the oven for a snack.
I'm not fond of fried chips and looked at baked chips and baked pita chips but they are full of fat and salt still. Bread is OK but spoils too fast. (the jar of spread always lasts way longer than the bread). Also, I'm not really a 'bread person'. Any ideas?

I actually eat these things (guacamole too) with celery and carrot sticks.

Yep, raw veggies are really good. If you are looking for more of a carb...I like Ezekiel wraps and Wasa or Ryvita crackers

Love with carrot and celery sticks. Also, use as a spread for a veggie sandwich!

Sugar snap peas, jicama, kohlrabi, sweet pepper slices or celery. Yum.

This might not be the healthiest option, but I use fat-free saltines as a substitute. They're empty calories as far as nutrition goes, but at least they're not as bad as chips and have a fairly short ingredient list. Plus, I find that fat-free saltines don't taste good enough to actually tempt me to each a whole bunch of them at once.
So, if you're merely looking for a low calorie/low-fat vehicle to get the hummus, salsa, whatever from the bowl to your mouth, they do work, they're cheap, and they take a while to go stale. They are a bit high in sodium, but I usually don't have to worry about my sodium intake. Amber

Raw veggies for me also for my hummus! Once in a while I treat myself to some Baked Lentil Chips.

Love hummus as well
My go to afternoon snack is 4 hard boiled eggs (yolks removed) and filled w/ a serving of hummus and topped w/ tabouli. The whites really seem to fill me up when their hard boiled for some reason.
