If you’re looking for an easy, healthy lunch idea to meal prep, look no further than this recipe for avocado chickpea sandwich! It’s quick, protein-packed, and tastes phenomenal. It’s also 100% vegan!
I love to put the chickpea avocado filling on some toasted bread and make it into a sandwich, but you could also put it on top of rice cakes, in a wrap, or just eat it by itself. Think of it as an alternative to tuna or egg salad. Avocados are a “creamy” alternative to mayonnaise. They are loaded with fiber and heart healthy fats. If you love guacamole, you are sure to love this recipe.
