Hey friends! I am on a roll with my creations lately. Sometimes I just get into the zone and I’m coming up with new things almost daily, then other times….crickets… lol.
I crave sweet things all the time. If its sugar, it’s right up my ally. I am currently cutting down on body fat but I still have some sweet foods to curb cravings when I have them. That’s balance and that’s life. These are PERFECT for having a quick little sweet snack or when you’re out on the go. I bring them to the gym with me as a little snack to have between training clients or while I’m blogging and they’re pretty good for you! Jam packed with tons of fiber which is something a majority of the population is low on daily.
Chickpeas have so many benefits to them! They help prevent spikes in your blood sugar levels, as i mentioned before high in fiber, contain protein, rich in so many minerals, great for your bone health, heart, and weight loss (because they are high in fiber which keeps you filler, longer).
Now lets get to the recipe.
