Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This vegan chickpea salad sandwich is lemony, bright and surprisingly delicious.
Celery brings a nice crunch.
Served with whole-wheat pita and prepared hummus, it makes a filling, yet healthy lunch.
Serve with sesame breadsticks.
The mix pairs well with mashed beans and avocado, which hold everything together.
Mix it up by trying it with canned chickpeas or black beans.
Spinach-Avocado Smoothie
This healthy green smoothie gets super creamy from the frozen banana and avocado.
Tossing it all with mint, feta and red onion gives it a Middle Eastern flair.
Once tender, they’ll blend right in.
