This week’s healthy snack was snow peas with a black bean hummus dip!

Unlike your typical shelled pea, both snow peas and sugar snap peas are much less starchy — meaning they contain fewer carbs. Both varieties offer various important nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K and folate — while being low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Whichever pea you prefer can be a low-calorie, nutritious addition to your diet!
