Aviate Lupini FLAKES - Keto "Oats" & Vegan Friendly Superfood - Non-GMO, Gluten Free - High Protein - Low Calorie & Low Carb - Rich in Dietary Fiber and Minerals - 100% Lupin Beans - 12 Ounces (Pack of 3)

I bought these to make hummus, and hummus I did make! WOW--game changer. It tastes like regular hummus. Not "good for a hummus", but like, no one would know it wasn't made with garbanzo beans. Texture, weight, overall flavor is the same. Or at least nearly so.I didnt follow a recipe-- just sort of winged it, and it all turned out well. It says to cook on stove, but I just poured kettle boiled water over about a half cup of these flakes, covered, and let sit for a bit. Then not sure whether to leave some water or not, I kept a little of the water and added the moistened flakes to my ninja single cup blender. It was looking like hummus! Then I added some delicious tahini, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Blended again. Taste? WOW, I could not tell difference between using lupini and using garbanzo. Add other flavors if so desired.I had tried the flakes dry and wet, plain. They have an ever so gentle bitter taste-- in a good way. I found that this flavor would work great in making a hummus, and sure enough it worked well (I omitted my usual squeeze of lemon).Since I had kept a little of the water, my hummus was a little runny. Instead of adding more flakes, I decided to add my trusty low carb, high fiber flour called Slimovina (another game changer in my life). This instantly thickened it up (it is my go to for adding body to soups and stews, and for making thicker sauces and gravies-- adds loads of nutrients but nearly no carbs. Can also be consumed as a hot cereal, or added to oats, grits.). So while I didnt set out to use the Slimovina, it was such a good/perfect addition that it might be my go-to mix. Just be mindful that Slimovina and Lupini products have A LOT of fiber.Then I used these delicious (to me, some people find them bland) B084WMWQR4 organic high fiber crackers . Again, watch the fiber, lol. But seriously.. my belly gets filled up!I dont recall why I chose these particular flakes. Might have been price, might have been reviews, might have been random. I am just glad I did. I will buy again. This bag will last me awhile as the way made my hummus ended making quite a bit.I knew I wanted to make hummus-- while I am not keto, I am watching (kinda) my calories and carbs. Ive been avoiding hummus because I tend to eat a lot, and even a small amount packs in calories and carbs. By switching to lupin, I am reducing a lot of the carbs. I have plain lupin flour on hand, but wasn't sure if it would work for making hummus, hence my looking for beans or flakes. The flakes are way quicker, easier, cheaper than the pre cooked beans. Un cooked beans would likely never get made by me. So I went with the flakes. Now I will have to try using this in other recipes. Cool beans. haha

If you are pescatarian like me or not, this is a great way to add to your daily nutritional needs🌻

Very interesting oatmeal alternative. After getting used to the taste and adding proper sugar and spices its very delicious especially if use like overnight oats

I’m a big fan of lupini beans, and I really wanted to love these flakes, but I find these flakes difficult to use due to how bitter they are. It takes a lot of additives to mask the bitter taste, and that kind of defeats the purpose if you’re looking to these as a healthy substitute.I haven’t given up on them yet, but so far, I can’t really recommend these.

Excellent higher protein than oatmeal for breakfast. I soak them overnight then boil for 5min.Add some nuts and fruit.

this was so bitter no matter how i soaked or cooked etc. had to throw the entire package out because no refunds allowed.

These are my new oats along with some other ingredients. Fills me up without feeling sleepy like regular oatmeal. It does have an after taste but with some spices it's not bad. Low carbs, high protein, low to no sugar, similar texture to oats.

My doctor wants me to eat more beans in diet for fiber and cholesterol lowering abilities. However, I am not a bean person. So I bought these flakes. I love them as a hot cereal in morning. LOW calories, High fiber, high protein and low carbs. It is a perfect meal! I add cinnamon and stevia, some fruit and to off with my FLAV City Vanilla protein mixed with almond milk and it is Delicious! I am trying to lose some weight before a photo shoot in October. Going to eat this every morning for a month and I will be back to give you my update.
