Falafels

These falafels are incredibly simple to make! They also keep for ages in the fridge so are perfect for lunchboxes, as snacks, with bread and salads! They also contain 2 main simple and seriously health beneficial ingredients: 
Chick peas are a great source of dietary fibre, protein and a very good source of folate (so all those wanting to fall pregnant, eat up!!). 
Many people also mistake Parsley as a garnish. Little do people know that Parsley is high in Vitamin C and A (so great for a healthy immune system), extremely high in Vitamin K (also good for pregnancy ladies!!), it's also anti-cancer, rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and  a healthy hearts friend. So next time, throw some parsley in your food - and never throw out the 'garnish'!
