I can’t remember where, maybe at a friend’s house, I tried a snack that knocked my socks off. Enlightened Roasted Broadbean Crisps are seasoned snacks made from roasted broad beans, a little bit of oil and sea salt. They are crunchy, flavorful, and the perfect little snack for me. Coming in at 100 calories per 1 oz package, they are high in protein (7 grams), low in sugar (1 gram) and high in fiber (5 grams). They have 3 grams of fat, and so they also fit well into the fat/protein/carb trifecta for a satisfying and complete snack. I buy big boxes of them in assorted flavors from Amazon and keep them in the car, my golf bag, and the snack shelf at home. I love the BBQ and sriracha flavors but the simple sea salt is also very nice.

This is one snack that keeps me feeling full and satisfies my carb cravings. Let’s be honest, I’m never going to be the kind of person that feels full after a plate of vegetables. So, I eat the veggies because they are delicious and good for me, but I also need some carbs to make me feel truly satiated. These broad beans just do it for me.

Disclaimer: I wasn’t offered anything in exchange for telling you about this brand. I just love them a lot and thought you might too.

Maybe they will become a new favorite snack for you too?
