*3 tablespoons Vegan Butter, like Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks or try Extra Light Olive
*2 tablespoons Cacao Powder
*1/3 cup Powdered Peanut Butter
*1/4 cup Shredded Coconut
*1 cup Old Fashion Rolled Oats
*1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
*Pinch Sea Salt
In a saucepan add sugar, almond milk, butter/ olive oil and cacao powder and bring to a boil and boil 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, coconut, oats, vanilla and salt. Then using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop onto a Silpat or wax paper and allow to set and enjoy!
Note: I have substituted some of the sugar to maple syrup (1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 maple syrup) and added 1/4 cup quick oats. Makes 15-17 No bake oatmeal coconut bites, around 100 calories each.
*1 can 15.5 ounces Chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried with paper towels
*1-2 tablespoon Extra Light Olive Oil

Toss together on baking sheet the chickpeas, olive oil and spices. Roast 425*F. for 20-25 minutes or until desired crunchiness. Toss every 10 minutes of roasting time.

*1/4 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder
*1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
*1/4 teaspoon Paprika
*1/8 teaspoon Cumin
*1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon, Ceylon preferred

Sweet Potatoes
On a foil lined 1/2 baking sheet
Ingredients:
*2 to 3 medium/small Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
*2-3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil
*1/2 of the spice mix recipe above.
Directions:
Toss together on baking sheet the sweet potatoes, olive oil and spices. Roast 425*F. for 20-25 minutes or until desired crunchiness.
Remaining Ingredients:
*Soft Tortilla, like Ole Mexican Foods Wellness! (12.5-ounce Spinach and Herbs, 8 count or favorite soft tortillas.)
*1 bag Broccoli Slaw or Cabbage Slaw. Note: I like to sauté in 2 tablespoons extra olive oil, 2 tablespoons dried onions and add the salt and pepper and red pepper flakes on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, you still want the vegetables to be crunchy. Also, add 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast.
*1 can 15.5-ounce Black Beans, rinsed and drained, for extra protein, optional
*2 Avocados, Sliced
*Fat Free Cheese or your Favorite Cheese, optional
*Miracle Whip or Mustard or dressing of choice
*Salt and Pepper to taste
*Red Pepper flakes, optional to taste
*Foil wrappers, optional
Making Wraps:
Makes 8 to 12 wraps depending on how full you fill them.
Lay out tortillas and begin to layer (start with spreading on dressing or I added it last) chickpeas, sweet potatoes, broccoli or cabbage slaw, cheese, black beans and avocado slices, add dressing of choice. Repeat for each wrap. Serve warm or cold.
Note: I like to wrap them in foil keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. Eat leftovers within 3 days.
