Healthy things to eat at lunch

During this time of the year I enjoyed green salad since it's so warm outside you can chill them and put them in a container and you're good to go. My favorite is quinoa Greek salad Kalamata olives feta cheese tomatoes cucumbers red onions and an Italian salad dressing of your choice.

I find the key to success for meal is meal prep. I prep for an hour or so on Sundays and put containers in the fridge so it's easy grab and go. I always start with a pan of baked chicken - either skinless thighs, tenderloins, breasts, etc. That then gets diced up and put in the fridge in 4 oz. serving sizes. Then I go with a veggie option or two - sometimes it's grilled veg, or baked, sometimes it's prepped lettuce or cabbage. I take 1-2 cups of veggies with lunch. Then it's a starch - usually a quinoa, brown rice, spelt, sweet potato, etc. That gets prepped and I take about 3 oz or a 1/2 cup of that with it all. that's a VERY filling and healthy lunch. Sometimes I also make a soup that doubles as a dinner and then lunches as well - this week it's the Fixate Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup which is AMAZING!!! Then we prep all the raw veg for the week - a giant bag of carrots, celery, broccoli or cauliflower, sometimes a jicama - both my husband and I take that for snacks/lunches during the week - I also make a homemade dip to take with it because, let's just face it veg is more fun with something to dip - sometimes I do buy a hummus, sometimes it's PB with carrots and celery, sometimes the low fat dip. We also cut/prep a melon or two for the week in the fridge - that coupled with berries or bananas make a great AM snack with some seeds or nuts. That's about it. that's how we get through the week healthfully at our house.
