Simply Lunch’s Bang Bang Chickpea Wrap Review

Simply Lunch’s Bang Bang Chickpea Wrap is a plant-based wrap (fully vegan!) which is filled up with chickpeas, mint, salad vegetables and coleslaw. However with the first bite I felt like it was way too spicy.

The sauce does taste quite nice inside of the wrap though I feel as though it is let down by the spice. It’s just way too hot that it overpowers the other flavors inside of the wrap and it’s quite disappointing to be honest. The vegetables that haven’t been touched by the heat taste good as they are slightly oily but other than that I really have nothing that great to say about the food itself.

The product, however, has a carbon rating of A which is great however it has a large amount of salt which could be harmful- I’ve supplied the nutritional information at the end of this post along with a list of ingredients.
