Falafel with tahini and yogurt

This delicious variation and our family favorite is proof that falafel doesn’t have to be difficult to make! The addition of Formula 3 Custom Protein Powder, Beta heart® and Herbalife Roasted Soy Beans make these lightly spicy falafels perfect served cold in fall lunch boxes or hot as part of a cozy dinner before nightfall.

The dish is also suitable for vegetarians

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

• 250 g dried chickpeas (or 2×400 g canned chickpeas, drained)
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 handful chopped parsley (without the stems)
• 1 handful of coriander leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp hot red pepper
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 servings (12g) Formula 3 Custom Protein Powder
• 2 servings (16 g) Beta heart®
• 1 packet (21.5 g) Roasted Herbalife soybeans, hulled
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 120 g of tahini
• 120 g of low-fat yogurt
• Optional: a handful of green leaves (lettuce) – for decoration when serving

Method of preparation:

1. If you use dry chickpeas: soak them in cold water the night before; pour more liquid because the chickpeas will absorb it.
2. Drain the chickpeas and grind them in a blender. Transfer it to a large bowl.
3. Then, in the blender, finely chop the head of onion, garlic and herbs – until you get a slurry; add chickpeas. Mix well again.
4. Then add the spices, salt, Formula 3, Custom Protein Powder, Beta heart® and soybeans. Stir well. Form balls and fry them in a pan with a little oil until golden – or bake them in the oven (20-25 minutes at 180°C, again until golden), sprinkled with oil.
5. While the falafels are cooking, mix the tahini and yogurt; put spices to taste.
6. Serve the falafels hot or cold – with yogurt with tahini and green salad if desired.
