Dining al desko: Beetroot hummus and chickpea wraps

When in doubt, just make hummus. Packed with vegan protein and delicious flavour, this bright pink paste has the added benefits of beetroots, a vegetable that has been refused on more than one occasion by fussy eaters. Add some chick peas, carrot sticks and spinach and you’ll be able to brag about how healthy you’ve been for days.
