One of my fav's-

Go garbanzo from Prevention.com -

"When I crave crunch, roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks, because their fiber-filled, quality protein, and carbohydrate combo provides long-lasting energy. If you can't find roasted chickpeas in a store, make your own from a can: Rinse, pat completely dry with a paper towel, then roast at 400°F for about 45 minutes until crispy and brown. Add flavor with sea salt, lemon juice, spice rubs, or a couple teaspoons of soy sauce, and then bake about 15 minutes more."–Lauren Blake
