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.

Delicious Gluten Free, non GMO Gourmet Popped Corn snacks

That’s how I would describe Cosmos Creations line of gourmet “oven baked corn” not to be confused with popcorn, by any means. The company was kind enough to send me a package of several varieties to taste and review. Of course, me being me, the first thing I did when I opened the box it was to flip each package over and read the labels. What a pleasant surprise to find delicious snacks with a clean, reasonably short list of quality ingredients. With the plethora of unhealthy choices in the Franken food snack isle, it is nice to know I can grab a snack from a company and trust that it is actually food. Such is the case with Cosmos Creations. Each tasty gluten free bite of puffed corn, is free of those nasty trans. fat and every morsel is non-GMO. More good news for those who have dental work, there are no kernels or hulls. The taste of each flavor I tried was scrumptious. Also, you know how companies will package a snack and boast that is it “low calorie” and then it turns out it is because the serving size is 2 bites? Not so with these little babies, the portion size is generous even with the lower calorie count of 60-90 calories per serving.

I want to mention that in general, I follow the 80/20 rule with my clients and my own eating plan; Eighty percent of the time I eat to nourish and nurture by body, twenty percent of the time, I let go of my regimen to allow for my sweets/savory fix, or a glass of wine (or two) and I do not beat myself up for that. It is, in my opinion, a healthy attitude toward eating that is sustainable for most folks, myself included.

I would place Cosmos Creations these under my umbrella of “treats” with a strong emphasis on high quality, ethically made, thoughtfully and minimally processed goodness! When I am in the mood for something savory, I thoroughly enjoy the Sea Salt Vinegar and Aged Cheddar Cracked Pepper. If sweets are calling my name, the Salted Caramel (to die for) and the Coconut Crunch is perfect.
