Lemoney-Smashed Pea Hummus

Sweet pea…apple of my eye

Avocados skoosh over, we are adding smashed pea toast to our repertoire! These lemony freezer staples are economic, tasty and a fresh alternative to our favorite avocado toasts. Toppings are limitless and I had so much fun making these for a kids class recently. The kids smashed the peas with a pestle (and their hands!) and we had a ball. We made ours outside at a picnic table and went down to the creek afterwards to wash up...an amazing way to spend the day enjoying our beautiful world!

Give this recipe a try. Make it with your kids, eat it with your friends! Tell me how you enjoyed it. I love to hear from you…

All the best!
