This is a super delicious and simple snack recipe that features one of our absolute favorite ingredients- chickpeas!
Print
Prep Time
5 min
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (may be from 15 oz. can)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the flavoring.
- Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, and roast 35-40 minutes, until crisp and golden, tossing a few times during baking to prevent uneven browning. Allow to sit and cool a bit before eating, if you can wait!
Notes
- They will keep in an airtight container for storage after roasting, but they truly are best (and addictive) fresh out of the oven. Enjoy!

Energizing Chia Pudding
2015-06-24 19:44:44
Serves 6
This low-caloric chia treat is not only a wonderful energizing (caffeine!) breakfast, but also a perfect snack.
Print
Ingredients
- 1 l Almond milk
- 2 espresso shots
- 4 tbsp stevia powder
- 12-15 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup (or to taste) of raspberries, fresh or thawed
Directions
- Place the milk,espresso and stevia into the blender and blend briefly.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the chia seeds. Stir thoroughly, making sure that all the seeds are covered with the liquid. Leave out and, using a large spoon or a spatula, stir periodically (about every 10 minutes), breaking up any clusters that form.
- Allow the pudding to stand until it has thickened to the right consistency, for at least an hour. If within one hour it is not puddingy enough, add 1-3 tablespoons of chia seeds, wait and check the consistency again.
- Refrigerate before serving for at least an hour.
- Before serving, carefully stir in the raspberries and/or top individual portions with them.
Notes
- The amount of tablespoons of chia seeds depends on the consistency of the pudding you want to achieve. Start with 12, and check it out after 30 minutes. If it is not jelly enough, add one more and check the consistency again in half an hour. Repeat if necessary.
