Glow Bowl with Spinach Falafels & Chickpeas

Why It’s Skin-Loving

Spinach is full of vitamin A and iron, chickpeas provide zinc (essential for skin repair), and tomatoes and radishes add vitamin C to boost collagen production. The healthy fats from olive oil help retain moisture in the skin barrier.

Ingredients

For the spinach falafels:

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas

• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

• ¼ cup rolled oats

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the bowl:

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas

• 1 tomato, sliced

• 1 radish, thinly sliced

• ½ carrot, julienned

• A few lettuce leaves

• 1 tsp olive oil + lemon juice dressing

Directions

1. Make the falafels: Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Blend all falafel ingredients in a food processor until combined. Roll into small balls and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

3. Assemble: Place lettuce in a bowl, then add falafels, chickpeas, tomato, radish, and carrot.

5. Dress: Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice before serving.
