One of my favorite lunches is simply a Mission medium-sized whole wheat tortilla, with laughing cow swiss light cheese spread on it, with 3oz chicken breast, spinach, halved cherry tomatoes and salsa. Simple but delicious!!

    So sorry Emily! Just saw this! Are you asking about Lean Cuisine?? No, probabably not. Clean means non-processed and LC and Weight Watcher type meals are heavily processed with sauces,etc., usually. Not your best choice.

    one of my favorite lunches is a spinach salad with avocado, organic turkey, almond slices, tomato, and balsamic dressing. If that doesn't fill me up, I usually add a tbs of peanut butter (usually nutzo or almond butter) and strawberry jam on a slice of Ezekiel bread.

    My favorite quick and easy lunch is my Chicken & Black Bean tacos. I grill lots of chicken on the weekends so I have it at hand for quick meals. I listed my recipe below:

    1 Whole Wheat Flour Tortilla
    2oz Grilled Chicken (shredded)
    1/4 c. canned Black Beans (I open a can, rinse them and put in a container in the fridge for the week as well)
    1/8 c. or less 2% Mexican Shredded Cheese
    1/2 c. or more Baby Spinach
    1-2 Tbsp. Salsa
    1 Tbsp Fage 0% Greek Yogurt (tastes like sour cream to me)

    I place the tortilla in a microwave safe plastic container, add chicken, black beans & cheese. Then I place my baby spinach in a baggy. And finally, I mix my salsa and yogurt in a small plastic container and pack it all in my lunch box. When I am ready to eat, I heat the tortilla, black bean, & chicken tortilla in microwave for 1 minute. When its done I add my spinach and my salsa/yogurt mixture on top and enjoy a very satisfying meal for only about 260 calories.
