Chickpea Smash Veggie Wrap Recipe

This Chickpea Smash Veggie wrap is part of our Clean Eating program and I made this up after teaching a fitness class with ingredients on hand. It was delicious I had to share it with you. This is a great way to get more plant based food in your diet. Let me know how you like it. Get notified about my new Fit4Females Recipe Book here.

Trina’s Tidbits:

If you are watching your carb intake, instead of the wrap use romaine, Boston lettuce or any lettuce that wraps well. This tastes so light and is filling with plant based protein.

I make this without oil. If you want a fuller flavour, use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil if possible. This can also be made as a salad.
