This vegetarian spiced chickpea wrap with a lemon dill yogurt sauce is easy to meal prep for a busy week. And it’s packed with protein and flavor to wake up your tastebuds!

Today is weird day. It feels like a Monday, but it’s really a Thursday. With 4th of July falling on a Wednesday, many people are out of town all week, but not me! We are going on vacation at the end of July, so we decided to stick around and be low key for the holiday. We live pretty close to the Easy River, so we’re lucky enough to be able to see the Macy’s firework show from our roof!

While I’m home with the day off, I’ve decided to catch up on some cooking and blogging. Since I work from home, I make my lunch everyday, and I gravitate towards things that are quick, easy and healthy. Sometimes that means a Chickpea Salad Sandwich or a seasonal salad (Spring Strawberry Salad), but I also like to switch things up. Enter this Spiced Chickpea Wrap with a Lemon Dill Yogurt Sauce.

If I don’t have enough protein at lunch, I find myself hungry again about an hour later. That’s why I like using some sort of bean or legume as the base for my lunch, and chickpeas fit the bill. With 8 grams of protein in just a 1/4 cup and plenty of fiber, these little legumes do the trick.

This healthy Chickpea Wrap Recipe with lemon dill yogurt sauce is so easy to make ahead of time for a healthy lunch! Just assemble, pack and enjoy!  #vegetarian #healthylunch #chickpeas #wraprecipe

This recipe takes a few minutes to prep, so I suggest making a few servings ahead of time and then you can quickly assemble at lunchtime (or the night before, if you pack lunch). With the combination or spiced chickpeas, radish, parsley, feta and a simple dill yogurt sauce, it’s super tasty, filling, unique and easy to bring with you on-the-go.
