Spiced chickpea and avocado flatbread

Fri, 15th April

Lunch on-the-go doesn't have to mean unhealthy choices. This flatbread, for example, is packed with protein and nutrients. Apart from the 10 minutes needed to roast the chickpeas, this is something that can essentially be thrown together in 5 minutes. You could even cook them on Sunday evening and simply add them to the yoghurt last minute. Also, why not keep some of the roasted chickpeas to the side after and sprinkle into a salad for an added kick?
