High Protein Mediterranean Pasta Salad

 

A hearty pasta salad that keeps it light, fresh and nutrient-dense.

Give me a great pasta recipe that's also high protein and low carb and it's on repeat in my household! The combo or artichoke hearts, garbanzo beans and tomatoes with that yummy vinaigrette just hit right and remind me of wonderful times studying in Italy when I was in college.

 
I'm using P2eatSmart pasta in this recipe and it's:
 
High protein
Low carb
Soy-free
Made in Italy
Non-GMO
Keto-friendly
...and it legit tastes GREAT.
 
I feed about 3,000 people at the Fit Expo this recipe to rave reviews!
 
This is the perfect meal prep recipe because it holds up so well in the fridge for up to 5 days because of the sturdiness of the pasta and other added ingredients.  I love this combination of flavors, too!  The combo of the pasta - which packs 30 grams of protein - and the addition of garbanzo beans makes this a big winner.  Enjoy it as a light lunch or with a wrap or soup for a hearty lunch (may I recommend my creamy Italian-style tomato basil soup).

I recommend it as a great-tasting and healthier pasta to serve - hot or cold - with all your favorite dishes.  They also offer a whole line of high protein toasts, croissants and a delish chocolate hazelnut spread that you'll go nuts over.
