Let’s talk about the ultimate lunchtime glow-up. This Vegan Chickpea Chicken recipe is everything you love about a classic chicken salad—minus the chicken, plus all the texture, flavour, and plant-based goodness your body (and tastebuds) will thank you for. With mashed chickpeas as the base, crunchy celery, creamy vegan mayo, zesty lemon, and just the right hit of herbs and spices, this dish hits the sweet spot between comfort food and health food. Toss in some chopped walnuts for crunch and bonus brain fuel, and you’ve got a protein- and fibre-rich meal that’s as satisfying as it is simple. Per serve: 319 calories | 28g carbs | 9g protein | 19g fat Serve it chilled in a sandwich, spooned into lettuce cups, or dolloped onto a grain bowl for an easy meal prep win. It comes together in under 10 minutes—no cooking required—and it’s one of those recipes that somehow tastes even better the next day. Midlife women especially—if you’re after a lunch that supports your energy, hormones, and hunger levels without the blood sugar crash, this one’s a keeper.
