We love protein-rich smoothies, especially when we’re able to make use of extra ingredients that have been hanging around in the freezer and pantry for a while. With this recipe, we’re using chickpeas in a totally new way by adding them for an added boost of protein and creaminess—and a welcome layer of nuttiness. Don’t have any extra can of chickpeas handy? No worries. This recipe is equally delicious without them.
