Vegan High Protein Recipe
In search of a high-protein, vegan or vegetarian lunch or dinner option that’s bursting with flavour? Look no further than the delectable falafel wrap. This Middle Eastern-inspired delight combines crunchy falafel balls with an array of fresh veggies, creamy sauces, and warm pita bread, making it the perfect meal to keep you full and satisfied.
At the heart of this protein-packed creation are the star ingredients: falafel. These chickpea patties are seasoned with a blend of spices, then fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior. Their savoury goodness is a treasure trove of plant-based protein and fiber, making them a must-have for vegans and vegetarians.
Whether you’re seeking a quick, on-the-go lunch or a satisfying dinner, the falafel wrap is a versatile choice. It can oftentimes be hard to get enough protein while being plant based. Including foods like these can aid this.
So, if you’re looking for a scrumptious and protein-rich vegan or vegetarian meal, the falafel wrap is a no-fail option. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

Falafel Wrap
Ingredients
- 360 Gram Split Broad Beans
- 200 Gram Chickpeas
- 1/2 Tsp Parsley
- 1/2 Tsp Coriander
- 1 Small Onion
- 2 Small Garlic Cloves
- 1 Tsp Ground Pepper
- 1 Tsp Ground Coriander
- 1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Olive Oil
- 6 Medium Wholegrain Wrap
Instructions
- Wash the 360 Gram Split Broad Beans and 200 Gram Chickpeas and then leave them to soak them in cold water over night.
- Blend all the falafel base ingredients in a food processor/blender until you obtain a smooth uniform mixture. They should have a beautiful green colour.
- When you are ready to fry the falafels, add 11 Tbsp Baking Powder to the mix. The baking powder should only be added at the last moment before frying. This adds an 'airiness' to the mix that is needed for the perfect texture
- •Heat up 1 Tsp Olive Oil in a saucepan until it bubbles softly. Using a falafel scoop or a spoon/fork, form the falafels patties and carefully dip them in the hot oil. After 3-4 minutes, carefully turn them over. The falafels are ready when they become golden-brown in colour. Lay on a piece of paper towel to drain off any excess cooking oil, although there shouldn't be much!
- To prepare the tahini dressing, mix all the dip ingredients together well and set aside.
- Prepare the rest of the wrap ingredients by chopping the veggies. I like to create a variety of textures so I love to grate/julienne my cucumber, roughly chop lettuce and thinly slice the various other bits. To create the wrap, open a 6 Medium Wholegrain Wrap, lay the veggies and falafel on it, then add some tahini dressing. Roll the bread. Enjoy your falafel wrap!
