Healthy snack idea: oven-roasted chickpeas

An easy vegan snack recipe idea with lots of protein, these oven roasted chickpeas are like little homemade nuts. They're crunchy, low-fat and high in protein, which makes them perfect for an easy and simple vegetarian and vegan snack idea. Kids will love these too! I recommend them fresh out of the oven, as they have a lovely crunchy and warm texture, but they're great when cooled too.

High-protein vegan snack: Edamame!

Fresh or frozen, edamame is one of my favorite healthy vegan snacks. Edamame, or young soy beans, are a nutritional bargain. A big bag usually costs just a couple dollars, and just a half cup of edamame provides more than 16 grams of protein. To eat edamame, place the pod at your mouth, then squeeze or bite the beans into your mouth. You don't eat the pod, just the edamame beans inside, which easily pop out. I like them smothered in sea salt.
