Are You Looking For Healthy Snack Alternatives? Here’s One

Do you love salt and vinegar chips? They were like crack for me…except I never used crack so I don’t really know what that feels like. I just know I LOVED them.

This recipe will satisfy that salty, tangy taste and also give you a little crunch for good measure. And chickpeas give you a great bang for your nutrition buck. They’re rich in fiber and protein. Fiber supports a healthy gut among other things, and we need protein  for our bones, muscles and skin. They also supply a number of other important nutrients that are necessary for a healthy diet.

So, if you’re looking for a little something to hold you over between meals that is actually good for you, this is a great snack. I say go for it!

Let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!

    This has me curious. I’ve never eaten chickpeas, to my knowledge, so I’m not sure how they would taste. I do like a snack that is made w/ green beans – similar to chips. My favorite has a light wasabi flavor.

      Chickpeas have a subtle flavor so they go well with spice. If you’ve ever eaten hummus, it’s made of chickpeas and tahini. That’s also a great snack made from chickpeas. Try some…you won’t be disappointed.
