Hi hi lovely, I know there are those days that you just feel exhausted! Literally, you can just hop in your bed and sleep the whole day and night!
I was there, where I could only wake up to go to the bathroom and back to bed, not eating anything because I was so tired and sick to even cook.
Today, I want to make sure that you, dear of mine you don't go to bed without eating nor spending your day wondering what food you can fix really fast and that is healthy.
The best thing with this vegan artichoke & black chickpea is that you can opt for canned veggies, and just warm them a little in some spices.
Just make sure that you buy canned food that doesn't have sugar added (why do they add sugar in everything?) or other chemicals.
Follow this rule of thumb, if you can't read any name of the ingredients on the canned or prepared food, then that food isn't good for you.
I happen to buy canned food now and then, I always choose a single ingredient which has been preserved in water and sea salt only.

Now toss everything in a pan in which you have added some spices of your choice with some oil, (please choose your oils with care)!
