Easy Bean - Chickpea Crispbread

Have you hopped on that gluten-free bandwagon yet?

Whether you’re into the gluten-free fad or still iffy about it, we here at The Amazing Blog suggest you give Easy Bean’s new Chickpea Crispbreads a try.

You do not have to be a gluten-free lover to enjoy this delicious snack. These crispbreads are a UK first. They are handmade at a bakery in Somerset and contain nutty-tasting chickpea flour rather than wheat flour and buttermilk from local farms. The seasoning and toasted seeds on top give it that extra flavour and crunch. You have a choice between Moroccan Spice, Seeds & Black Pepper and Mung Bean & Chive.

Christina Baskerville, the founder of Easy Bean, says the crispbreads are, “perfect for snacking, lunching, dipping and sharing … particularly good served with a bowl of soup at lunch time.”

If you’re still a little unsure about whether any kind of gluten-free snack can actually taste good, just know that these snacks have already won TWO Gold Great Taste Awards. If that doesn’t make your taste buds jump then I don’t know what will!

Chickpea Crispbreads are available nationally from many independent stockists, or you can purchase them here for £3.00. 

Crispy Snacks

One of the main things I tend to struggle with when I'm on a diet is the lack of crisps or crunchy food. I don't care what anyone tells you, no apple or nut compares to a handful of McCoys. So when we came across the Crispy Snacks crisps I was sceptical to say the least that they'd be anywhere near as good as a salty corner shop treat. And they're not: they're better. The Amazing Blog office has officially become obsessed with Crispy Snacks. These delicious snack packs are a way healthier alternative to regular salty snacks. They're low calorie, not fried or baked, free from gluten, salt, additives, added sugar and there's less than 1% of fat in the packs. Because of the way they're dehydrated, the fruits and vegetables retain almost all of their nutritional value. Each pack is equivalent to one of your five-a-day, so you don't have to feel guilty if you have more than one pack (which you probably will). Crispy Snacks come in 4 different types: Crunchy Apple, Crunchy Carrot, Crunchy Tomato,  and Crunchy Beetroot. My personal favourite is the Crunchy Carrot! The packs are perfectly sized to have in your desk at the office, in your bag for on the go, or brilliant to throw in your kid's packed lunch - that is if you want to share!

Check out their website for more information and to purchase yourself some Crispy Snacks. I'd suggest getting more than you think you want, you'll thank me later!
