CARE Snack: Roasted Chickpeas and Herbal Digestive Tea
Roasted chickpeas were made for us “salty snackers”. Replace the afternoon pretzels with this high-fiber, high-protein yet salty and crunchy- alternative. Chickpeas are a rich pre-biotic food (from our CARE Bonus Step: Strengthening Digestion). Pair with an herbal digestive tea, like ginger or mint, for a therapeutic mid-day break that actually support your intestinal cells vs stress them (like high caffeine, high sugar afternoon snacks). PLUS, this is a great portable snack that keeps in desk drawers and bags making sure adhering to meal timing is not a problem!

Notes
- Roasted chickpeas are getting easier to find in the snack or deli sections of your store (they can also be found online).

- Do watch your ingredient labels and avoid excess additives and flavorings. My go-to is simple “sea salt” flavors.
