GOLDEN JOY FOR VEGAN WEDNESDAY

**Hello my Dearests Steemian Foodies, **

Today is VEGAN WORLD DAY and I am adding this later, because I forgot earlier, when I was posting this recipe. I was busy with announcing the winners for #fruitsandveggiesmonday and day before was Halloween. Too many things at once. However, it is truly amazing that both VEGAN WEDNESDAY and FRUITS AND VEGGIES WINNER'S ANNOUNCEMENT happened on this most special day in the whole year.

So HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY and thank you DEAR @heart-to-heart for initiating this wonderful contest and doing such a great job promoting healthy and kind living.

If you are quinoa a lover then this is a recipe for you. In addition, the sweet potato and garbanzo are also very popular amongst consciously eating people, so this combination is definitely a winner. No to mention it is easy to make and it goes well with all types of veggies and salads.The combination is truly delicious and I guarantee you will love it. The health benefits are also quite substantial so eating this meal not will not only satisfy your taste buds; it will satisfy your body too.
