Chickpeas, one of the main ingredients of falafel with tahini yogurt on tortillas, are bursting with vegetable protein and digestive fiber. Edamame, not yet fully ripened soybeans, convince with blood-forming iron and bone-strengthening calcium. In addition, their isoflavones are good for hormone balance and help with menopausal symptoms.

You can get frozen edamame in Asian stores or well-stocked supermarkets. If you can't find any, you can alternatively replace the soybeans with frozen peas or broad beans.
