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!
