EASY CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH RECIPE 🌱 delicious
EASY CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH RECIPE 🌱 delicious & vegan

You need to try this easy vegan chickpea salad sandwich recipe. With lots of protein and healthy carbs, it's so delicious, nutritious, and satiating. 

Also, this plant-based chickpea salad is great for meal prep. It keeps well in the refrigerator for several days so you can make a big batch and have a healthy plant-based lunch at the ready. 

Here are the ingredients. Keep in mind that you can make adjustments based on your preferences. If there are other spices or veggies, or herbs you like, feel free to experiment. If you prefer a creamier salad, add more mayo. If you don't like mayo, substitute tahini, mashed avocado, or hummus. 

Ingredients:
2 15-ounce cans of chickpeas
2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise 
1/3 to 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 of a medium red onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons relish
1/4 cup fresh dill and/or parsley
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
 
Method:
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Reserve the liquid to make vegan meringue (video coming soon!)
2. With your potato masher or the back of a fork, mash the chickpeas.
3. Mix in the mayo, lemon juice, relish, and spices. 
4. Add the chopped celery, onion, and fresh dill/parsley. Mix to combine.

Iconic Candy Bars now VEGAN thanks to Go Max Go 🍫🧡⭐️🤩

Do you or did you before going vegan love iconic candy bars like Twix, Snickers, Heath, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers? 

The chocolate coating of these bars tastes like milk chocolate, but it’s dairy free and vegan!!

If you miss these iconic candy bars from your pre-vegan days, or even if you’re not vegan, these bars are better in every way! 

Check their website for locations near you that may have them. Also available to order on their website and Amazon. 

Just love these bars and wanted to share in case you are looking for something like these in your life! 

My favorite is the Buccaneer which is like a 3 Musketeers. Yummmm!!

I went 🍌 B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌at the grocery store I went 🍌 B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌at the grocery store!! 

I was tired of always running out of frozen bananas for smoothies. 

Are you a banana smoothie person? 

I like to make a thick milkshake-type smoothie with bananas, water or plant milk, and my favorite protein powder. Lately I started using Ka’Chava chocolate protein powder @kachava I use the vanilla when I add berries. So delicious!

Do you have a favorite protein nutrition powder? 
What do you like in your smoothies? Answer with emoji(s), just for fun. 😄

Cheers!!

P.s. Is it just me, or do you think we need a smoothie cheers emoji too?
