Crispy Plant-Based Protein

When I first saw these packets of lentils I had assumed they would be cooked up in a pot as a sort of side dish. A sort of flavored mushy bean-like dish. And while these little beans are incredibly yummy with their different flavors, they are a crisp and crunchy snack. 

Snack Time

My kids love eating these. The BBQ flavor reminds them of BBQ potato chips, but they are a lot healthier. My daughter has requested the cinnamon sugar flavored ones for dessert multiple times this week. It is easy for me to keep a bag on my desk and grab a small handful to snack on when I’m feeling peckish. 

Not Just a Snack

Like using nuts or sesame seeds, I love tossing these onto my salads. They add a delicious crunch and tasty flavor and the Sea Salt and Falafel flavors are my favorites for salads. If I add enough I don’t even need salad dressing. Seapoint Farms, the creators of Mighty Lil Lentils, suggests even adding them to your favorite beverages, trail mixes, morning granola or oatmeal, and more! 

Healthy Alternative

A full serving of these lentils is only about a quarter cup. In that tiny amount, you get 5g of plant-based protein, 5g of fiber, plus potassium, iron, calcium, and more. All for around 150 calories! They are certified GMO-free by the NON-GMO Project, half of the varieties are considered totally vegan, and all of them are totally gluten-free. Plus they are a totally sustainable crop.

My New Go-To Snack and Meal Additive

I really am using these tasty lentils whenever and wherever I can. The powerful flavors make a great snack or tasty addition to most of my meals. I love knowing I’m getting a lot of flavor in a tiny, but healthy package. I also love knowing I can get these quickly with iHerb or on iHerb with my usual vitamins and supplements. Plus, they have other tasty things to try like their Edamame! I used to think of lentils as a bland, boring, mushy side dish. Now I love these tasty crunchy snacks.
