Bobby's new snack inventions
2nd June 2017 by Bobby
Bobby's been busy in the graze labs experimenting with wholesome ingredients and exciting flavours, coming up with brand new snack ideas. Give his latest inventions a try and let him know your thoughts!
Power to the plants! Our nutritionist is a big fan of plant protein, and we love it because it tastes so good. Inspired by our much-loved veggie protein power snack, I came up with this deliciously crunchy bunch.
fiery protein burst
These cheese almonds are one of our favourite ingredients. Inspired by Mexican flavours like nachos and chilli, we combined them with jalapeno chickpeas and chilli broad beans to make this crunchy source of plant protein. Beats nachos any day!
What makes it taste so good?
We’ve added to the delicious flavour of these chickpeas by baking them in a warming chilli mix. Our almonds are roasted in batches in our West London roastery and dusted with a delicious cheese flavour. Add chilli broad beans and you’ve got yourself a crunchy snack packed with flavour that will leave your tongue tingling.
What are the benefits?
Fiery protein burst is a good source of fibre and of protein which will help your body to build muscle.
Our nutritionist Jess recommends enjoying a portion of nuts and legumes everyday, as they are such a handy way to get in healthy fats, essential vitamins and minerals.
smoky protein kick
This plant protein snack is all about the delicious flavour of hickory smoked almonds. The citrus and chilli of the broad beans really lift the deep smokiness of the almonds, and combined with pure pumpkin seeds you’ve got a delicious healthy hero!
What makes it taste so good?
The smoky taste of the almonds combined with the crunch of the pumpkin seeds and the fresh flavours of the chilli lemon broad beans makes this a delicious combination of flavours and textures, perfect for any time of day.
What are the benefits?
The almonds in this healthy snack are a good source of vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. In fact, this ingredient contains more vitamin E than any other nut!
Smoky protein kick is also high in phosphorus, magnesium, copper and manganese, minerals that work together for energy metabolism, immune system support, electrolyte balance and the reduction of tiredness.
And on top of all that, this healthy snack is high in protein which will help your body to build muscle.
pepper protein crunch
Our beetroot and carrot crisps have been so popular, we couldn’t wait to try a colourful combo of the two. Inspired by vibrant vegetable crisps, think of this healthy snack as an upgrade - crunchier, more vibrant, and high in protein and fibre.
What makes it taste so good?
Our almonds are roasted in batches in our West London roastery and dusted with a delicious black pepper seasoning. Add black beans and our innovative veggie crisps and you’ve got yourself a crunchy snack packed with flavour that will leave your tongue tingling.
What are the benefits?
Pepper protein crunch is a good source of fibre and of manganese, needed for energy metabolism and the protection of cells from stress.
The beetroot and carrot crisps are made using innovative microwave vacuum technology, dehydrating fresh beetroot slices to capture their natural sweetness and vibrant colour, with no added sugar, salt or oil.
This healthy snack is also high in protein which will help your body to build muscle.
zesty protein lift
Lemon and kale, what a dream team. We’ve teamed up chilli lemon broad beans, black beans and kale crisps to create a snack that’s all about the crunch of kale crisps and the uplifting zest of lemon. This healthy snack packs a good source of natural plant protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals, as well as a whole heap of flavour.
What makes it taste so good?
The kale crisps in this snack are satisfyingly crunchy with their light coating of cashew nut butter and chia seeds, with zesty lime juice to round out the flavour. Paired with the uplifting citrus of our chilli lemon broad beans, and the crunch of dried black beans, this snack really earns its name.
What are the benefits?
As well as being high in fibre and protein which is needed for the maintenance of muscles, zesty protein lift is high in vitamin k which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
This healthy snack is also a good source of copper and manganese, essential minerals needed for energy metabolism, immune system support and cell protection from oxidative stress.
