Filling Snacks on the Go with Breton Bean Crackers

When I started my bootcamp classes in January, I made a major miscalculation with the time! The classes happen to run right through lunch time, from 12 to 12:50 to be precise. Now that is an awkward time. You can’t really eat a rich lunch before or you may have trouble keeping up in the class (I am already in trouble with that). You also don’t really want to eat a full lunch after because you will mess up with your dinner with the family. Kind of a headache!

 

Since I don’t like quitting on things, I figured I just needed to find the right healthy food idea that will help me solve the problem. And I FOUND IT. I made this delicious, easy and healthy snack on the go. I am not crazy, you really can have it all! I made it in a few minutes, ate it in seconds (well almost because they were sooo good). My secret ingredient for this snack: Breton Bean Crackers.

Filling Snacks on the Go with Breton Bean Crackers

Breton provided me with Breton Bean crackers and Breton Popped! Beans cracker chips. I have to tell you this, they are JUST DELICIOUS and healthy too. I had to stop myself from eating them just BARE. They are made with beans (the #1 ingredient!) and are certified gluten free by the Canadian Celiac Association. Isn’t it a win-win situation?

The Breton Bean crackers carry new flavours: Breton White Bean with Salt & Pepper and Breton Black Bean with Onion & Garlic. I like that they have 3g fibre and 2g protein per serving.

The Breton Popped! Beans cracker chips carry the following new flavours : Breton Popped! Beans Sea Salt & Pepper and Breton Popped! Beans Sweet Chili Cheddar. I like that they are made with a blend of chickpeas and red beans. They are filling just as is.

Get out and try these new gluten-free crackers! Visit the Dare Foods website or like Breton on Facebook for more product info or recipe ideas!

 

Easy Breton Baja Shrimp Snack Recipe

Now let me delight you with the recipe I made with one of the flavours. I used the Breton Black Bean with Onion & Garlic because the box had a recipe that caught my eye: Baja shrimp. The recipe called for guacamole, mango and shrimps. I did not have all the ingredients on hand so I tweaked it a bit.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • A few cooked shrimps.
  • Cherry tomatoes

Make it

  • Peel your avocado
  • Dice it
  • Put your avocado in a bowl. With a fork, mash the avocado
  • Place your crackers on a nice plate (and some in your mouth because you won’t be able to hold off)
  • Top with avocado, shrimp and cherry tomato

 

Isn’t it delicious? Want another variation? Try this one:

avocado salami cracker

 

Ingredients

  • Goat cheese spread
  • Favorite salami
  • Cherry tomatoes

Make it

  • Top the cracker with goat cheese
  • Salami, cherry tomatoes

Voilà

    I will have to look for these the next time I need crackers. I love them as a snack but not always the calorie count. I do like that these crackers have 3g fibre and 2g protein per serving. Thank you for your review and recipe ideas.
