This is my go-to packed lunch; I've eaten it everyday for long stretches of time. It's cheap, easy, and seems pretty healthy (? plenty of fat and protein, not just carbs). One can of chickpeas should get you at least two sandwiches.

- Chickpeas
- Vegenaise
- Mustard
  - V+M should be enough to wet the chickpeas, mostly V. (1/2cp : 1 Tbsp??)
- Garlic powder (not much) (1 tsp??)
- Onion powder (lots) (1 Tbsp??)
- Black pepper
- Small pinch salt
- Paprika (sweet. optional)

0. If using canned chickpeas, you can make DIY Vegenaise with the liquid.
1. Mash up the chickpeas. They're usually kinda hard to mash with normal masher or fork. You can hit them with a few pulses in the blender (careful not to overdo it) or put them in a ziplock bag and mash them with your fingers while you watch TV.
2. Combine chickpeas with the rest of the stuff. Put on bread.

- Lettuce and cucumbers make good additions.
- You can add relish or pickles for a different vibe.
- If you add stuff that isn't juicy it can be a bit dry unless you went really heavy on the vegenaise.
- Good on all kinds of bread.
