RECIPE
Chickpea Wrap
We really love chickpeas at Fitaly. Not only are they a completely versatile Italian staple – they are an amazing source of gluten-free and vegan protein and really do fill you up. Make sure to cook them al dente- leaving a bit of a crunch so you can really enjoy their nutty texture. We have teamed them up with tomato, rocket and flatbread, perfect for a mid- holiday healthy lunch (or when you simply can’t take any more Christmas chocolate..)
