This was a meal I threw together a few nights ago with leftover ingredients I had in my fridge, and it turned out to be deeelicious! It’s high in plant-based protein from the chickpeas and quinoa, it’s high in fibre to support gut health and contains a yummy dressing made from yoghurt and olive oil to provide your body with healthy body loving fats. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
