There isn’t always much time to cook at lunchtime. You just want something simple and easy to do that will get you through the afternoon. This sandwich is quick and easy while being healthy and delicious.
MyFitnessPal has teamed up with one of our scientific advisors, Dr. Danielle Belardo, to bring you this high-fiber vegan chickpea “tuna” salad sandwich.
Fiber is great for slowing down digestion and helping you feel fuller for longer, and this recipe really incorporates that into the mix. Energy and many other benefits.
Although this recipe uses chickpeas instead of seafood, it still satisfies those cravings for a classic tuna sandwich. “The chickpeas provide a hearty, tuna-like texture, while the celery and red onion add a delicious crunch,” says Berardo.
