Nutritious Chickpea & Avocado Sandwich

While avocados have certainly cemented themselves into the hearts (and diets) of the nation, chickpeas are still gaining steam. If you’re looking for a way to add this superfood into your routine, this sandwich is the perfect start. Chickpeas are full of protein, healthy carbs, and fiber, making them an ideal substitute for meat in a sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 slices hearty bread, such as 12-grain, lightly toasted
  • 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
  • Baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into thick slices

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas and avocado. Smash with a potato masher until well mixed and at the desired consistency. Stir in the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
