Celebrate National Nutrition Month with 31 Days of Healthy Lunches!
It's hard enough to stay awake some afternoons, and that fast food lunch definitely doesn't help. Celebrate National Nutrition Month by vowing to bring healthier lunches with you to work (it doesn't have to be January to start a new resolution!).
This dish provides you with healthy greens, healthy fats, and healthy grains! What more could a health-consious luncher want? Need extra protein? Keep it vegan with some added tofu, or mix in some chicken or steak. Make ahead and bring to work with you.
Not going to lie to you, if you want pasta, spaghetti squash won't always cut it. But it IS delicious. And healthy. And pretty easy to prepare. Try this recipe or develop your own.
Chinese buffet? No thank you. The quinoa in this recipe offers up some great texture, whole grains, and lots o' protein.
Pull out that thermos and bring this to work with you for some afternoon comfort. The broccoli and beans will fill you right up, and the pepper and parmesan provide a nice flavor. Best part? This will have a drastically lower sodium content than any soup you'd get out of a can or at a restaurant without sacrificing the flavor.
Get some organic chicken, a whole wheat pita, and your fave Greek yogurt for this treat.
This looks flavorful, refreshing, and nutritious. Great for a day when you feel like you've maybe overindulged a bit...
A seemingly simple wrap with lots of protein and flavor.
For a sweet lunch, try this. Use whole wheat bagel thing, English muffins, or bread.
Prepare most of this ahead of time, bring to work and reheat. Add avocado right before you eat.
Make everything ahead of time and throw together before work.
Yum! High fiber, high protein..
Sub lettuce for the bread and you've got yourself a low-carb winner with this delicious lunch.
Tired of boring sandwiches and salads? Try this.
Mild flaky fish, colorful slaw, avocado and a creamy greek yogurt lime juice sauce all wrapped in a toasty whole grain tortilla.
Have a mid-day sweet tooth? Satisfy it with this yummy lunch.
Upgrade your lunch with this flavorful yet light chicken salad.
Make these for dinner and pack them with you for lunch the next day. Leftovers never tasted so good!
Light yet flavorful.
Vegetarian and oh-so-filling.
Don't be dissuaded by the lentils--they're actually delicious!
This looks great--cold or hot.
Throw in some extra veggies and some rice to make a complete protein.
