    Cookie Dough Smoothie Bowl (vegan + high protein)

    Published: Jan 11, 2022 · Updated: Apr 22, 2022 by Jacqui Wormington · This post may contain affiliate links. · 14 Comments

    A healthy Cookie Dough Smoothie Bowl made with chickpeas and frozen bananas. This indulgent breakfast bowl is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and added sugar-free. It is inspired by my edible cookie dough recipe, which is also made with chickpeas. And, I know it sounds crazy at first. But bare with me, it legitimately tastes like cookie dough and does not taste like beans!

    🍽 Benefits of eating chickpeas

    Chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) are packed with lots of protein and other nutrients. Their nutrients offer a variety of health benefits ranging from weight management to bone health.

    They are a great source of fiber, which also makes them a very filling food supporting your digestive health. Additionally they may also help your body manage your blood sugar levels. Chickpeas have many characteristics that may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. (source) On top of all that: they are super affordable and easy to find in your local grocery store! The perfect base for your next breakfast bowl!

    🥣 Storage

    This smoothie bowl serves 1 person but is very rich and indulgent. If you have any leftovers, store them in the freezer and slightly defrost them before eating. Another option is to turn this smoothie into popsicles. Place any leftovers in a popsicle mold and enjoy later!
