Craving the flavors of your favorite Energizing Chickpea & Avocado Power Bowl for Lasting Energy—but need something you can eat on the go?

Customizable: load up seasonal veggies to boost crunch, color, and phytonutrients. Balanced macros: supports steady energy between meals with a smart combo of protein, fat, and fiber. Ingredients You'll Need Serves 2 2 large whole-grain tortillas or 2 large collard leaves (stems shaved) for a grain-free option 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 ripe avocado 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, plus black pepper to taste 1 cup baby spinach or arugula 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (or hemp seeds) Quick Lemon-Tahini Drizzle 1 1/2 tbsp tahini 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp maple syrup or honey Pinch salt 1–2 tbsp warm water to thin Step-by-Step Instructions Make the mash: In a bowl, lightly mash chickpeas with a fork (leave some texture). Mash in avocado, 1 tbsp lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust. Prep the drizzle: Whisk tahini, olive oil, remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Thin with warm water until drizzleable. Assemble: Lay tortillas (or collard leaves) flat. Divide greens, carrots, bell pepper, and herbs. Spoon on chickpea–avocado mash. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Finish and wrap: Drizzle with lemon-tahini. Roll tightly (fold sides in, then roll). Slice in half and serve. Health Benefits The combo of chickpea fiber and protein with avocado fats supports a steadier energy curve and satiety—ideal for busy mornings and lunch on the move. Olive oil's polyphenols and lemon's vitamin C offer complementary support for antioxidant defenses and non-heme iron absorption from chickpeas, aiding normal energy metabolism. Variations & Tips Grain-free: Use large collard leaves or romaine boats in place of tortillas. Extra protein: Add 2–3 oz grilled chicken, smoked tofu, or a hard-boiled egg. Add crunch: Swap carrots for thinly sliced radish or cabbage. Spice it up: Stir in smoked paprika or chili flakes to the mash. Pack-ahead tip: Wrap tightly in parchment; add the drizzle at mealtime to prevent sogginess. FAQ Q: Can I prep these wraps the night before?A: Yes. Assemble up to 12 hours ahead and add the drizzle just before eating. For best color, toss avocado with a little lemon. Q: What tortilla works best?A: Choose a large, pliable whole-grain tortilla. For gluten-free, use certified GF tortillas or collard wraps. Q: How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?A: Add leafy greens as a moisture barrier, and drizzle right before eating. Dry rinsed veggies well. Q: Can I make this without tahini?A: Absolutely—use Greek yogurt, mashed white beans with lemon, or a simple olive oil–lemon squeeze. Q: How much protein is in each wrap?A: Roughly 12–16 g depending on brand of tortilla and add-ins. Bump it with tofu, chicken, or a boiled egg. References Ha V, et al.
