Healthy lunch ideas...

[eb777888]

I pick up a kale/avocado/almond milk smoothie from the gym. Even on days I don't work out, I still go and get that for lunch. It sounds gross but it's not bad at all. I used to do a second Starbuck's run in the afternoon but after switching to this, it's not necessary. It gives me so much energy.

I also love simple plates of cheese, olives, grape tomatoes, pickles and vegetables w/ ranch. So easy and yummy!

I have a bento box and I like to do a combination of cheese, protein, veggie with hummus, pickles/olives, HB egg, nuts etc.

Whenever I make soup or chili I freeze a bunch of individual containers for lunches.

Salads of different variety, or else I get sick of them
-taco salad with leftover taco meat or fajita chicken
-chicken with goat or bleu cheese crumbles, nuts, dried cranberries and balsamic
-Cobb salad (chicken, avocado, bacon, hb egg, tomato, cheese)

I have been doing grilled chicken or shrimp with grilled zucchini, yellow squash and red peppers. I'll add quinoa too if I'm feeling wild and crazy.

I do a soup with ground beef, beef stock, and lots of veggies. Only 1 point on WW and it's filling.

I've been trying for high-protein salads: romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, lots of grated carrot, cooked chicken, boiled egg, and some cheddar cheese.

Various salads - tuna, chicken, turkey, zoodles with Feta, tomato sauce and a protein or leftovers. Not much variety I usually eat the same things.

I've been on a spinach salad kick. Lots of greens with carrots, red pepper, broccoli, edamame, frozen peas and unsalted sesame seeds. 2 hard boiled eggs and it's enough to fill me up for about 30 minutes!! I need more protein I think?? Also eat leftovers when we have them.

I really love both of these salads. Easy to make on the weekend and eat throughout the week. They both hold up well.

I tend to make a big pot of soup on the weekend and eat it for lunch 3/4 days.

I've been grilling portobellos and cutting into strips to add to wraps. Throw in some roasted red peppers, tzatziki, feta, spinach and red onion - fantastic!

some of my favorites (all of which I make on a Sunday and portion out for the week) :

Pot of veggie soup, add turkey sausage or white beans (or both) for protein

I make a banh mi salad that is TDF if you want the recipe.

Lately thanks to pregnancy exhaustion I have just been having PBJ sammies or real boring leftovers.

[colliebabe]

Ground turkey with taco seasoning, sauteed veggies (onion, peppers, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, spinach, really anything) and quinoa. So good and filling too.

Spaghetti squash with either ground turkey or shrimp, sauteed veggies and pasta sauce.

It's easy to make a big batch of these on the weekends and then portion it out for the week.

[amandakisser]

I do a lot of veggie or turkey chili - cook a big portion in the crock pot over the weekend and then eat it throughout the week.

I also just made some veggie quesadillas. I put in a TON of black beans for protein, plus some shredded cheddar. You can use any veggies you like, really.

Basically, anything that I can make in advance so I don't have to do much prep work at night is what I eat.

When I'm home, I like to take a bag of shredded cabbage - I throw some coconut oil, garlic, some chili paste, a little sesame oil, rice vinegar, and some soy sauce into the wok. Let it all warm up a bit, then toss in the bag of cabbage until it's coated and just starting to turn translucent.

I do smoothies a lot, too, esp. in the summer - so easy and filling.

Boiled chicken?

[panicfoot]

I do a low-ish carb wrap with hummus, peppers, olives, pickles, turkey, feta and cucumber.

Oatmeal & fruit. I keep some quick oats in my desk as a back up lunch/snack.

Not the orignal poster but you can boil a chicken breast and shred it. Then keep it cold for sandwiches/salads.SaveSave
