Review: Mighty Lil' Lentils

I'm all for snacks that taste like chips but are made with way healthier ingredients. I want a salty, savory, crunchy thing made with whole foods. And Seapoint Farms Mighty Lil' Lentils are just that! They offered to send me a few packs for review, and I cannot get enough of these things!

The main ingredient in Mighty Lil' Lentils is just what you'd expect — lentils! Plus, a little oil and spices, and that's it! They come in four flavors — Pink Himalayan Salt, Barbecue, Falafel, and Cinnamon Sugar.

They're teensy, so they're ideal for popping a handful into your mouth at a time or — let's be honest — just turning the bag up and dumping directly into your mouth. I've been doing just that when I need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up while working in my home office/living room (pandemic life!).

The Falafel flavor, which has notes of garlic, onion, paprika, and turmeric, is my fave, because it tastes very much like a crispy fried falafel ball. But Barbecue comes in a close second. They taste just like BBQ chips, but they're way better for you (and have 5 grams of protein per serving).

I've been enjoying the Pink Himalayan Salt lentils as a salad topper. I love a good crunchy salad topper.

And the Cinnamon Sugar are surprisingly not too sweet. I was hesitant to try that one because I'm not always a fan of sugary snacks that seem like they should be salty. But since they're lentil-based, you get a natural savory flavor just hint of sweetness. These might be weirdly good atop vanilla ice cream, but I'll you try that first. :-)

How fun! I've seen so many chickpea snacks, but never whole lentils like this. I'm a huge fan of lentils and crunchy snacks, so I bet they'd be right up my alley. Good idea adding them to salads instead of croutons for crunch!
