Mediterranean Chickpea Stew
WITH
Coconut RoséHello spring!! 🌷
We love the change of season🌱- it’s such an inspiring time to eat, think, and do all things that feel and are good for you. Spring represents a season of growth, purpose, renewal, refresh, bright, healthy and light.
This is a great season to add more plants, and herbs to your diet. Even growing a few pots on your windowsill or deck is such a great way to test out your green thumb. And of course it’s good for the planet, and good for you.
Being a plant-based brand, we love to encourage and inspire you to eat more plants. There are so many important reasons from your health, to budget, and planet. Eating more plant-proteins like lentils and chickpeas are a great place to start!
So while the temps are still cool as we transition over to warmer days, let this coconut rose chickpea stew be like a big, healthy hug. It’s SO good!🌱
