Chickpea of The Sea❣️
This nutritious vegan alternative for tuna or chicken salad is not only really easy it's really tasty and healthy too!
Chickpeas are high in protein and they provide a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber so they are an excellent replacement for meat or fish.
This simple to make salad is tasty in sandwiches, wraps, or piled on top of a bed of your favorite greens. So delicious used as a filling for avocados, celery stalks, bell peppers or as a spread on top of sliced cucumbers, zucchinis or on lettuce leaves or coconut wraps.
Awesome dip too😋
This is an easy salad that is so adaptable you can be as creative with it as you like and add your favorite ingredients to change it up depending on the occasion😊

Directions

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
