Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps
Alright, I am obsessed with chickpeas. I know, I’m a bit late to the party here, but I swear these lil guys are the new cauliflower (aka they can become whatever you want them to be). Crispy roasted, mashed, pureed, I just love them. plus there is so much protein and flavor packed in those little round balls, you really cannot go wrong.

How many veggies per day should you be eating? Gosh, that seems like a pretty straight forward question, but it’s hard to get a great answer. My quick answer: Your meals and snacks should be majority vegetables. That means you’re eating more veggies than you are meats, grains, junk or anything else! If you’ve never tracked how many veggies you are eating or how many your kids are eating, it’s a great exercise.
