On my Instagram account (here) I wrote a few posts on snacks and how they can be helpful in achieving your daily protein requirements if you are an athlete with higher needs.
These roasted chickpeas are a great idea for snacking during the day – a high plant-based protein snack that contributes towards your daily fibre goals = happy gut!
