Healthy Lunch Ideas
Remember to eat small amounts regularly! Starving yourself, bonking, depriving your body creates unnecessary stress on the system. Plan ahead and take food for the day! Make sure all your meals are balanced with adequate Protein, Fat and Carbs. Try these options then create your own!

The Wrap: Wraps are a great and portable staple of my everyday eating.  Here's an example: The Turkey Breast and Hummus Wrap. Begin with a Sprouted Grain tortilla, add mustard, hummus, sliced turkey breast, greens, and some Jalapeno Jack Almond Cheese. I also like to put a little Thai hot sauce on mine, but that is a personal preference, supporting my addiction to spicy foods. I wrap mine in aluminum foil (for those earth friendly folks, you can recycle it!).

Eclectic Wraps: Really, you can go crazy with these and you should; they are quick, easy, and portable. Here are more suggestions:

Meats: Salmon, Tuna, Chicken Breast, Roast Beef, Scrambled Egg, Baked Tofu, Tempeh. Greens: Spring Mix, Spinach, Raddicci, Olives, Avocado. Spread: Hummus, Mustard, Hot Suace, Babaganoush. In fact, if you are eating well in the evening you can wrap dinner leftovers in a tortilla in a pinch for the next day. More Ideas.

Everyday Salad: In a tuperware, add a good helping of greens (Arugula is my favorite), olives, goat cheese, pecans, dried Cranberies or diced pears, add a little balsamic vinegarette, top with a chicken breast, a piece of smoked salmon, or tuna steak, and you are good to go. Try some of these salads!
