Vegan Chickpea Scramble Recipe

This delicious vegan chickpea scramble recipe is a great protein rich breakfast. You can have it as a healthy replacement to a tofu scramble. It is perfect for A Sunday morning breakfast.

I created this vegan chickpea scramble recipe as I wanted an alternative to tofu scramble. This chickpea scramble is delicious and without the oestrogenic effects of soya. It even looks like scrambled eggs! It is tasty on toast or served with vegan sausages and mushrooms.

The Most Delicious Hummus!

Hummus is my favourite food! I love it on bread or on my baked sweet potatoes! It is a tasty dish that originated in the Middle East. This recipe is so delicious I had to share it with you immediately! It is based on an Abel & Cole recipe (my new favourite all organic supermarket!). It is super quick to make (20 minutes). I have been wanting to post a hummus recipe for a while. Hope you enjoy it!
