Do you likeChickpeas?

I love chickpeas, but usually only eat them as hummus. I’ve had gastric bypass surgery and have to be mindful I’m getting a lot of protein and fiber. Chickpeas have a decent amount of both.

I found this salad at Aldi. It has edamame, dried cranberries, carrots , and bell peppers as well. It is DELICIOUS. This might make its way into my work lunch rotation. 1/2 cup only has 140 calories, too. That’s a whole meal for me.

Do you like chick peas? Would you eat this? If you live in northeast Wisconsin, please don’t buy them out and leave me with none. 😃

... Read moreChickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a versatile source of plant-based protein and fiber, making them a fantastic choice for individuals following a bariatric diet or anyone looking to improve their nutritional intake. Incorporating chickpeas into your meals can enhance digestive health due to their high fiber content, which aids in feeling full longer and supports gut health. The amino acid profile in chickpeas is beneficial for muscle repair and overall wellness, crucial for those who have undergone weight-loss surgery. The Aldi Chickpea Salad you mentioned is a wonderful option, combining the goodness of chickpeas with the crunch of fresh vegetables like bell peppers and carrots, complemented by the sweetness of dried cranberries. This quick meal provides a balance of macronutrients, making it an excellent choice for a busy work schedule. With only 140 calories per 1/2 cup serving, it’s easy to incorporate into a calorie-controlled meal plan. Moreover, ease of preparation makes it perfect for meal prep enthusiasts. If you’re new to using chickpeas, they can be cooked and blended into various recipes beyond hummus, including soups, stews, salads, and even desserts! Experimenting with spices and herbs can elevate their flavor, making them a delightful addition to any dish. Don’t forget, if you enjoy chickpeas, sharing your recipes and experiences with the community can inspire others to include this nutritious legume in their diet!
