Currently Craving Broad Bean Crisps

Currently Craving The Perfect On-The-Go Snack

I am always on the hunt for new snacks that are healthy, satisfying, and delicious, and these Broad Bean Crisps from Enlightened are the total package!

When it comes to snacking I look for 4 things:

1. Are there at least 3 grams of protein?
2. Are there at least 3 grams of fiber?
3. Is the sugar 5 grams or less?
4. Are the first three ingredients actual foods (i.e. beans, nuts, seeds, fruit, etc).

The combination of enough protein and enough fiber is what is going to make a snack satisfying and actually fill you up.  The amount of sugar is what will distinguish a healthy snack from a piece of candy. And finally, I always want to know if the snack is overly processed or a cleaner food choice, which is where the whole foods come in.

Enlightened Broad Bean Crisps get A+’s in all 4 categories!

• Broad beans are actually fava beans, so right there I know it is going to be a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and made from real food.  One serving of these crunchy guys offers 7 grams of protein and 5-7 grams of fiber  (depending on the flavor).  All the flavors have 1 gram of sugar, making them very BZ-approved!
• The individual serving size bags keep your portion control in check and are super easy for snacking on-the-go.   Whether you like your snacks savory, sweet, or spicy, there is a flavor of broad bean crisps for everyone! Find them on their website or Amazon, and if you are a BZ client then I got you covered with some free samples at your next appointment!
