Looking for a quick, delicious fiber rich whole food plant based lunch or dinner? Try smashed chickpeas. The consistency is creamy yet firm. Great in a salad or on a sandwich with whole grain bread. Beans are a great source of magnesium, which is needed for calcium absorption. Boost the calcium content in this recipe by incorporating dark leafy greens to your salad or sandwich.
Tahini dressing binds the smashed chickpeas and both chickpeas and tahini are good sources of calcium.
1 cup of chickpeas = 80 mg of calcium
1 tablespoon tahini = 64 mg of calcium
Use calcium rich fresh greens in the salad or on the sandwich: kale, arugula, or young dandelion greens; and add fresh herbs: parsley, basil, oregano, or cilantro for more flavor and nutrients.
