Nobody will be the wiser that you snuck protein powder into this creamy sweet potato spread to turn the lunch wrap into an even bigger protein powerhouse. You can make it vegan-friendly by using plant protein powder and swapping out the chicken for tofu. You’ll likely end up with extra hummus, which can be used as a dip or for even more sandwiches.

1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas
1/3 cup plain protein powder
3 Tbs. tahini

2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. cumin powder
½ tsp. salt
4 whole-grain bread wraps
4 cups baby greens or arugula
1½ cups sliced cooked chicken
2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 cup sliced roasted red pepper
