Hippeas- Give Peas a Chance

One of my favorite things about being a food and fitness blogger is trying new products and sharing them with my peeps. Today, I invite you to “Give Peas a Chance!” More specifically, Hippeas™, a line of organic chickpea puffs that have me shouting “Power to the Peaple”.

Hippeas™organic chickpea puffs are absolutely delightful.  All six flavors are yummy with something for every taste bud. Flavors include: Far Out Fajita, Vegan White Cheddar, Maple Haze, Pepper Power, Sriracha Sunshine and Happenin’ Hickory. My favorites are the Far Out Fajita, Vegan White Cheddar and Sriracha Sunshine.

Bragging rights galore

Beyond being Certified Organic, these tasty little lovelies are gluten free, vegan, kosher, allergen free and non-GMO. Also, they have 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and just 130 calories in a one ounce serving.  I am wowed and know you will be too.

So, Why Chickpeas 

According to many experts, plant-based products hold a huge spot in the current market and expected to grow tremendously.  Our friend the chickpea is one of the shining stars in the industry.

Did you know that Chickpeas release nitrogen back into the soil?

For Farmers, growing this legume is giving back to Mother Earth. They are more affordable to grow than many other plants, taking minimal water, care and they grow pretty quickly.

Perennial chickpeas are also a fundamental source of nutrition in animal feed as they are high sources of energy and protein for livestock.

How HIPPEAS pays it forward

HIPPEAS believes that “tastes good” and “do good” are two philosophies that should go hand in hand – that is why they’ve partnered with Farm Africa, a charity working to end hunger and bring wealth to rural eastern Africa. For each pack sold, the brand will donate a portion of sales to support farmers in eastern Africa to grow themselves out of poverty, helping them build a more prosperous life for themselves and their families.    Courtesy of HIPPEAS™ and prnewswire.com

The move into your new home brought me to a whole new level of clearing and decluttering. I am a little embarrassed to say that while immersed in this clearing frenzy, I came across an unopened lovely little, environmentally friendly packaged, treasure trove of skincare goodies, sent to me by the Canus Goat’s Milk co. Lucky me! I love finding buried treasure don’t you?

I am thrilled to be able to share my findings after a two week trial of their line. Oh my how I LOVE everything I have tried! I happen to have extremely overly sensitive skin. Especially in the wintertime. Nothing seems to quench the dryness and a great many products irritate my skin easily. From lotions and bar soaps to laundry detergents and clothing tags, my skin sends up the red, bumpy itchy flag pretty quickly if it is the least bit uncomfortable.  I am pleased with Canus Goat’s milk products since my skin is feeling quite content. No itchy skin, no red bumps, nothing but soft, nurtured skin. The mild scent of the lotion and the bar soap are incredible. The ingredients list is minimal, which keeps my skin from feeling stripped of moisture. The line is formulated with Fresh Goats Milk, Lavender, Shea Butter and Olive Oil among other luscious delights, no wonder it smells so lovely. You won’t get that overly perfumed scent that always reminds me of a bad air freshener or a 1970’s cheap dime store body spray-yuck. My favorite so far is the Pure Vegetal Oil Base Soap. It is fragrance free, contains no parabens or phosphates has no artificial colors and they do not test on animals!

Looking for integrity in the products you choose? Well, you’ve found a great source right here. This company has every right to boost about their environmentally responsible practices and their mission to support many wonderful organizations-checkout Canus for a Cure.

Canus Goat Milk Skin Care ProductsWhat can I say, I am smitten with Canus Goat’s Milk Skin Care Products and I think you will be too! They even have a line for the kiddos called Li’l Goat’s-adorable right?  I am just about out of the soap and ordered more today. By the way, the price point is reasonable too.  You can find Canus products on their site, at Whole Foods and on Amazon. Or check on the web as I am sure there are other local spots to grab these treasures.  Head on over to their site to check out all the wonderful goodies and join in the fun!
