Additionally, chickpeas provide varieties of vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber. Plus, they are perfect to add to bowls to receive additional nutrients.

Peanut Butter- a great source of protein and healthy fats. It also is loaded with vitamins and minerals, which are essential for the body.
