What Vegans get wrong

Friends! YouTubers. Summertime is here, at least this week while across the pond in the U.K. And I’m hungry again for something filling, tasty and healthy so we’re banging out this delicious Chickpea Smash Ranch Salad Sandwich that satisfies all those cravings. Super inexpensive, cheap, easy to make and nourishing (NO OIL) Whole food and plant based amazing-ness. This recipe makes up to 6 large sandwiches making it a budget friendly meal for the family, picnics or meal prep coming in less than $2.00 per large serving. You could also consider this a raw food and gluten free recipe, dare I say it, without the bread. YES! I also share a few words about what bothers me and my gripes with some being vegan, towards the end.

Thanks so much for joining, supporting by subscribing and liking and THANK YOU so much for being kind to all.
