Beans for snacking

Beans and lentils follow my snack formula all on their own: they bring plant protein and fiber together, so a small portion keeps you full for hours. Chickpeas, black beans and lentils are my favorites.

Easy ways to snack on them:

  • Roasted chickpeas, a crunchy, salty swap for chips
  • Hummus with veggie sticks or whole grain crackers
  • A scoop of black beans with salsa and a few slices of avocado
  • A small cup of lentil salad with lemon, olive oil and fresh herbs

Try this: cook a pot of lentils on the weekend and keep them in the fridge for quick snacks and salads all week.
