1. Crispy Spiced Chickpeas
Popping these baked bits in your mouth can be addicting. Best when warm, but can be eaten cold and can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week. There is even a sweet version of the recipe.

2. Strawberry Chia Pudding
This is two treats in one. Chia seeds are considered to be a superfood because it’s packed with protein, calcium, and fiber. Strawberries are also rich in antioxidants, but if you aren’t a fan just swap them out with your favorite fruit. It’s a superfood dessert you don’t have to pass up!
