Pastoret Banana and Biscuit Organic Yoghurt

Pastoret Banana and Biscuit Organic Yoghurt

I confess that I have seen these about, how can you not with their vibrant yellow packaging, however I have never bought any purely on the basis of them being made from chickpeas. I have no qualms with chickpeas but when it comes to snacks and crisps I am a potato kind of gal and that is where the hand reaches.  Hippeas* are asking you and I to #GivePeasAChance with their range of organic chickpea puffs. Currently in 5 not so generic flavours, these snacks are high in fibre, a good source of…
