VeggieJeva- Chickpea Scramble

Chickpea Scramble, have you tried it before? 

I love this recipe for how simple it is and how good it is, plus it’s prepared in 15 minutes! I’ve been making this for years, I can’t believe it took me this long to post the recipe. It’s the perfect breakfast for when you want something tasty, simple and nutritious.

There are many wonderful sources of protein in the vegetable world, such as /legumes, quinoa, and different veggies. This Chickpea Scramble is the perfect example of good vegetable protein, and honestly, I even prefer this kind of scramble to tofu; no shade here, I just rather use tofu for other things. But if you’re allergic to soy, this is a great affordable option.

Although it is a breakfast recipe, the best thing is that it has a lot of versatility; use it as a sandwich filling, or even as a dip! It can be served with fruit, pancakes, vegan bacon, avocado toast, caprese salad, etc. You can also double this recipe, and reheat it through the week for quick mornings.
