POWERHOUSE SALAD

High in protein & nutritional value 😍 Follow to get more healthy ideas πŸ™ŒπŸ» This salad is so fun, so full of everything, it’s my newest obsession! Salads literally bring us back to life and salads should never be boring! I really dislike going out and ordering healthy plant- based, GF, refined oils free salad without a bunch of crap in the dressing because I’d probably just get some leaves πŸ˜‚ So, I enjoy creating my own! I am never ever bored of salads πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸ»β€οΈ

P.S. If you want crispy chickpeas feel free to drizzle some oil, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, za’atar (or you fave spices) and pop in the oven on a baking sheet for 35 min at 425 F πŸ™ŒπŸ» #proteinsalad #quinoasalad #quinoarecipes #garbanzobeans #arugulasalad #plantpowered #vegansalads #reelsinstagram #reels #discoverunder10k #discover #fypage #foodreels #recipereels #veganreels
