Hi everyone! Today I have a special guest on the blog, Kalene from Health and Us. She will be sharing a Crispy Kale and Roasted Chickpea bowl with Spicy Tahini sauce. Sounds amazing and looks delicious if you ask me! What I love about this recipe is that it has a lot of ingredients I would normally have around the house. Not to mention it contains so many wonderful nutrients: lots of protein from the quinoa {complete protein}, chickpeas, and kale. Healthy fats from tahini, avocado oil and lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from the vegetables.
All her info {blog and social media} links are at the end of the post so definitely go over and check out her delicious recipes. I also posted on her blog a Lentil Quinoa Taco recipe that is loaded with protein, veggies and more! Check it out here.
