Lately my kids have been watching some of my favourite movies as a kid. Their current favourite is\u00a0Mighty Ducks. Obviously because it based around hockey. Even though they watch it on Netflix, they know it’s a movie, which makes it special (compared to a show). That’s why they always request POPCORN as soon as I turn it on. \u00a0While I don’t mind them eating popcorn once in a while, I would prefer that they snack on something healthier while still feeling like they’re getting a “treat”.\u00a0Melissa Jacks<\/a><\/strong>, a parent and nutritionist, sent me a\u00a0great recipe this week to do just that. Here’s what Melissa had to say about the roasted chickpeas:<\/p>\n Never in a million years thought these would be a hit for kids but they are crunchy and salty and can be a great balanced snack. They are a good alternative to popcorn! Chick peas are high in protein, fiber and a good source of energy. Sprinkle your favorite spices on them for added flavor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I bet that these snacks would be a hit with adults as well. Serve them up as an appetizer at your next party or enjoy them yourself when watching your favourite movies or shows. Bon Appetit!<\/p>\nRECIPE<\/h2>\n
