We love garbanzo beans for so many reasons: they’re versatile, flavorful, and packed with protein. Just half a cup of beans (also known as chickpeas) packs as much of a protein punch as one egg!

Here’s a vegetarian ceviche that’s light, bright, and surprisingly filling. Make it today for a satisfying and healthy snack!
