Chickpea Trail Mix
We are snackers! We have tried to fight it but we are who we are and we snack. It can be challenging finding affordable things for us to snack on especially because we are all home all day.
I love chickpeas – I eat them in salads, curries and hummus.
My kids love roasted chickpeas – they eat them by the handful. They are great little protein-packed peas, perfect to keep the kids satiated.
If you are looking for a school snack, a picnic snack or a delicious snack for your long road trip – this is the trail mix for you.
