Smashed Chickpea and Avocado Sandwich | Vegan Lunch Ideas

---

One thing that I have found surprisingly difficult as a vegan, is finding easy lunches to bring to work. The smashed avocado and chickpea sandwich has become a huge staple in my lunch box. Healthy, simple to make, and seriously delicious. Let's get cooking!

Ingredients: For 2 sandwiches, use 1 can of chickpeas.

1 ripened avocado

Garlic Salt and Pepper

Bread of your choice

Toppings: Vegan Mayo (I love Follow Your Heart- Veganese Mayo)

Tomato slices

Leaf of your choice (I use spinach for protein)

1. Drain can of chickpeas and add them to a medium sized mixing bowl. Scoop ripened avocado into a bowl and use a fork to mash down your avocado and chickpeas. Avocado should be creamy and most chickpeas should be smoothed down. I usually keep the chickpeas a little more full for texture.

2. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Mix together.

3. Build your sandwich!

Wasn't that easy??

Pack it up with your favorite healthy sides and enjoy!
