Chickpea Wrap Recipe
JUMP TO’S
I was so excited when I found this recipe.
These wraps are actually gluten, grain AND cornflour free!
They only contain THREE ingredients and this combination just doesn’t exist in the shops and you certainly won’t find it as clean.
The prep is done in under 5 mins and the cooking time is the same. INCREDIBLE!
Chickpeas are a powerhouse of nutrients, so I had to give them the spot light they deserve.

Chickpeas are also good for your mental health! Research shows due to their magnesium, selenium, and zinc content, they may help protect you against depression and anxiety.

Improving Carb Metabolism
top 5 tips
These are easier on your digestion than shop bought gluten free wraps, HOWEVER, they are still high in carbohydrates. So if you have trouble breaking down carbohydrates, I’d recommend the following -
Limit yourself to eating one or two high carbohydrate meal a week.
Get moving! Stimulate mechanical digestion by moving your body.
Take a good quality vitamin C supplement.
Take magnesium citrate to help support your bowels elimination.
