I'm in need of recipes. Anyone got any? Something quick, easy to find, and practical.

I'll usually cook a chicken breast, spinach, mashed carrots, peanut butter, and cilantro, but I'm getting tired of it.

Pretty much to bring for school. So nothing that will go bad for a couple hours.

Thanks.

    I like to grill a chicken breast and slice it up and put it in a wrap with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers and then drizzle it with bruschetta salad dressing. So yummy. If you put the dressing in a small container the wrap stays nice and fresh.

    I like hummus, red peppers, olives and rocket in a wrap for lunch (:
    I either use low-fat hummus or make my own.
    Or Quorn Chicken (i'm veggie but you could use real chicken ;)) edamame, avacado and a tiny bit of mayo to bind it together is also tasty

    For days where i'm in the house for lunch - Poached egg+tomato pasta sauce on a warm wrap is actually really tasty.

    It's hard to keep a wrap from getting soggy with in that time frame, so your best bet is to toss your salad with dressing.
    I back chicken breast strips (evenly cut at 375/ 15-18 mins) and from there, you can do a ton of things.

    regular iceburg salad with tomatoes, cukes, shredded carrots with a bit of ranch

    spinach and chicken with tomatoes and a vinagarette

    a ceasar wrap

    You can do a black beans and rice and a bit of salsa and seasonings

    make sure you wrap it right, tight, close both ended and wrap in tinfoil.

    you can also layer it with lunch meat, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese and roll it (instead of wrap)

    avocados are always good.

    I've been buying spring roll wrappers (the rice kind) and filling them with carrots, radishes, avocado, green onions, peppers, cucumbers or whatever you want plus some kind of protein (I like tofu, shrimp, or imitation crab) and then a couple of pieces of greens (like spinach or spring mix). Use wasabi for a lo-cal condiment. If you used tofu they would not go bad right away. The basic recipe would be crunch+protein+greens inside.

    You can eat like 5 of them for under 300 calories so it feels like you're eating a ton!

    Holy crap that's an awesome idea. They won't go bad if they stay in my backpack for a couple hours?

    Thanks for the feed back everyone. Inspired me to make some bomb wraps.

    My go-to for school is 1/4 of a mashed avocado with baby spinach, fat free feta, turkey, almonds (sounds weird, but it's amazing), and sriracha. It's super yummy and takes two seconds to throw together since I'm constantly running late in the morning. Makes me want one now, ugh. Wrapped in an ezekiel wrap! Those are AMAZING and 100% clean, I'm obsessed
