7 Layer Greek Snack Cups

Learn how to make a quick, healthy and incredibly tasty Greek snack cup in minutes and keep it fresh in a lunchbox!

Healthy School Lunch Side

We’re all dragging at my house waiting for the school break. If you’re in the same boat and all you can think of now for a school lunch side or snack is a bag of chips, I’ve got your back! This healthy Greek snack cup is quick to prep and pack—the perfect go-to!

Loaded with fresh veggies, creamy hummus, and tangy feta, it’s the perfect way to add variety to a school lunch without much effort. Keep the Greek vibes going and try a Mediterranean lunch bowl or chicken pita wrap for a full lunch!

Ingredients

Whether your kids dip pita wedges or scoop it up with baby carrots, this snack will keep them munching happily! Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons hummus: creamy and full of healthy protein! Try roasted garlic or red pepper hummus for extra flavor.
• 1 tablespoon crumbled feta: for that tangy zip.
• 1 tablespoon pitted Kalamata olives, drained and chopped: these are a briny and bold Mediterranean classic, but are easy to swap out for regular black olives, if preferred.
• 1 tablespoon chopped red peppers: roasted peppers will add extra sweetness, fresh is a great choice if your looking for more crunch.
• 1 tablespoon sliced mild pepperoncini (optional): adds just the right amount of mild spicy goodness.
• ¼ small tomato, diced: juicy and fresh—any tomatoes will work, but I like to use Roma for this snack cup.
• ¼ small cucumber, diced: cool, crunchy, and refreshing.
• fresh chopped oregano: a sprinkle of fresh herbs will give this recipe that restaurant-ready feel.

How to Make Greek Snack Cups

This is one of those recipes that’s almost too easy to call a recipe—but that’s why I love it.

1. Layer the Hummus
   Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus along the bottom of an 8-ounce lidded container. This will be the base of our snack cup.
2. Add the Toppings
   Sprinkle the hummus with crumbled feta, chopped olives, red peppers, pepperoncini (if using), diced tomato, and cucumber.
3. Finish with Herbs
   Garnish with a pinch of fresh chopped oregano to make it pop.
4. Keep Pita Separate
   Pack pita wedges or chips in a separate bag or compartment to keep them from getting soggy.
5. Pack it for school
   Refrigerate greek snack cup until ready to use (up to 3 days). Before leaving for school, pack it inside an insulated lunch bag, along with any additional lunch sides.
