The Good Bean Giveaway

May 21, 2013

Hello, hello!

I have one great giveaway for you today!  The folks over at The Good Bean contacted me to see if I wanted to review their all-natural roasted chickpea snacks.

Chickpea snacks??  Yes, please!

The Good Bean was launched in 2010 in hopes of providing a healthier snack alternative to chips, crackers, and pretzels. 

They sent me four different flavors to sample: sweet cinnamon, smoky chili and lime, sea salt, and cracked pepper.

I had to dig right in and tried all of them.  The sea salt was my favorite.  The chickpeas have a nice crunch to them and the flavor really compliments the chickpeas nicely.

The stats are pretty good too! We all know that chickpeas are a great source of fiber and protein, so having them as the star ingredient is a huge win.

The ingredient list is nice and short- seasonings, canola oil, and a dash of salt.

I would definitely buy these in the store.  They are the perfect snack!

They also included some fruit and No-Nut bars to sample.  These are a perfect solution for those who have nut allergies, since we all know nut-free bars are difficult to come by.

Swanky boyfriend and I shared the apricot coconut flavor.  It had a subtle apricot flavor and it was not overly sweet.

I really enjoyed trying out these products from the Good Bean and now it’s your turn!

Three lucky readers will win a variety of these products to sample:

  • 2 fruit and no-Nut bars- Chocolate berry & apricot coconut 
  • 3 chickpea snacks- sea salt, cinnamon, and smoky chili & lime

Just leave a comment below telling me which flavor you would like to try most. I will choose the winners by random next week. Good luck!

A big thank you to The Good Bean! :)

Hi, friends!  I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!  I bought a basil plant at the store the other day on a whim.   Nothing tastes (and smells) better to me then fresh basil.  But, the plant just sat there. I needed inspiration in a bad way so I turned to my own Employee Dining [...]
