Beans are one of the best sources of protein and fiber. They’re versatile enough to use in meals like pasta or plant-based burgers. Something that might surprise you, though, is that they make one of the best snacks, too. Registered dietitians won’t hesitate to recommend bean snacks between meals.

From chocolate-covered chickpeas to roasted edamame, these are some of the best RD-approved bean snacks you can buy right this second.
