Lentils pack a mighty crunch

Seapoint Farms is introducing Mighty Lil’ Lentils, the company’s latest innovation in gluten-free plant-powered snacking. Created from a variety of artisan-crafted lentils, the crunchy snack is flavorful, packed with nutrients, and can be eaten on the go, used as a salad topper, or added to trail mix.

Mighty Lil’ Lentils are rich in dietary fiber and boast 5 grams of protein per serving. Four flavors are available, all of which are Non GMO Project Verified: Barbeque, for a smoky, sweet, and savory experience; Cinnamon Sugar, for a slightly sweet taste; and Pink Himalayan Salt and mildly spicy Falafel, for vegan options. Available online at iHerb and Amazon, Mighty Lil’ Lentils are sold in 5-ounce bags for a suggested retail price of $3.99.

Raspberry blast in a bar

The latest bar offering from Huel is its vegan Raspberry & White Chocolate flavor. Like all of Huel’s products, the bar is made using oat flour and rolled oats, pea and brown rice protein, coconut MCTs, and flaxseed, providing a balance of 27 essential vitamins and minerals.

The soft and chewy bar contains real raspberry pieces bursting with tartness, balanced by the sweetness of vegan white chocolate chips made from organic cocoa butter. With 200 calories a bar, it provides 12 grams of protein along with slow-release carbs, making it suitable for a mid-morning snack, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a healthy on-the-go choice.

Huel bars use sustainable, plant-based ingredients and are free of soy, eggs, dairy, and GM ingredients. The Raspberry & White Chocolate bar can be found online at Huel.com for a suggested retail price of $2 per bar.
