A colorful, protein-rich bowl of goodness you’ll want to make every day!
We’ve all heard people say, “Eat Healthy!” – but few actually turn those words into action. Our body needs protein for every organ to funtion properly, and the the easiest, most natural source of plant-based protein is right in our kitchen — sprouts!
Today, I’m sharing a delicious recipe that proves healthy food doesn’t have to be boring. This Sprouted Moong and Chickpea Chaat (or Salad) is chatpata, flavorful, and bursting with color, texture, and nutrients. Made without oil, cooked in minutes, and filled with crunchy vegetables, seeds, and tangy spices, this salad is perfect as a post-workout meal, evening snack, or even a light dinner.
The best part? You don’t need to cook anything — eating sprouts raw helps retain all their enzymes and nutrients, making this dish a true superfood salad!
Why This Salad Is a Powerhouse
- Rich in Protein: Sprouted moong and chickpeas help build muscle and support metabolism.
- High in Fiber: Keeps digestion smooth and prevents bloating.
- Loaded with Vitamins: Coconut, raw mango, and pomegranate provide vitamin C, A, and antioxidants for glowing skin.
- Great for Hair & Skin: Sprouts improve blood circulation, promote hair growth, and delay signs of aging.
