This recipe is delicious and guilt-free for easy, healthy snacking!

Close up shot of two white bowls of chickpea and black bean snack mix with spices in the background. Here is a delicious, guilt-free, crunchy, healthy, inexpensive, and easy snack. Do I have your attention? 😀

Where has this snack been all my life? I have no idea. All these years I could have been munching on healthy legumes instead of junky carbs!

Are you worried about the upcoming big game munchfest derailing your New Year's resolution to lose a few pounds? Then this snack is for you! You can munch on this during all four quarters and even if your team doesn't win, you will still feel good knowing you avoided all those calories from pizza and wings and chips!

I am the type of person who snacks to relieve stress. Even though I feel weirdly better while in the process of devouring a sleeve of crackers or a bag of chips, I feel even worse later. (One would think that I would have learned not to do this by now - but that is a discussion for another day!)

However with this snack, I can munch my stress away without the awful consequences later on. This snack is my hero!

I am excited to explore different spice combinations and see what other flavors I can create. Chipotle, garlic salt, rosemary - the possibilities are endless. If you like crunchy snacks, you should definitely give this a try! Much like my Crab Shack Popcorn, this snack is guilt free and will keep your mouth busy and your stomach hungry!

    Ooh! I've not seen a recipe that included black beans and DIDN'T include oil! I'll definitely give this a try!

      I hope you enjoy it! I try to minimize oil as much as I can when I want to make a healthy snack. Hopefully you won't even miss it!

    How long will the keep ? I am thinking of making them for my emergency food supply.

      That's a great question and I should add that information into the post! These will keep for about 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. But note that they may lose their crunchiness over time. Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂

    How long will these last for in a container? Sounds great!

      I would say at least a week. We have never managed to keep them around for longer than that! 🙂 Enjoy!
