Savory Chickpea Bites

White Flowers

     One food I love to snack on a lot is chickpeas. They are such a satisfying and nourishing legume and are a great source of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. A few fun facts about chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans):

 

1) With their high protein content they can be used in many dishes as a replacement for meat as a plant based protein.

 

2) The combination of the protein and fiber work synergistically to keep you feeling full by slowing digestion down and making you snack less (but that's not fun!) ;)

 

3) Chickpeas are a very low calorie food and are great at helping weight management because of their high fiber and protein combination.

 

4) They are a low glycemic food that helps keep blood sugar levels steady for hours.

 

5) The soluble fiber content in chickpeas is beneficial for digestion and increases the healthy flora in your gut.
