This easy 4-ingredient, creamy vegan smoothie is chock full of protein thanks to chickpeas and peanut butter.
The chickpeas in your smoothie will keep you full as well as add a creamy texture to the smoothie. Those who are wondering if chickpea is a weird thing to add to a smoothie, rest assured, the peanut butter taste masks it.
The dates add sweetness with the added benefit of fiber.
The best part of this smoothie is that there is no chopping required, just get all the stuff from your pantry and add them.
I took photos and made this smoothie in under 10 minutes before my little ones left for school. You will see them impatiently hovering in the background.

5.5 g of protein and 4.7 g of fiber per serving should keep you fairly full for a couple of hours. Coming in under 200 calories, it is a much better choice than grabbing a muffin or breakfast bar, in my opinion.
