Simple Lunch Ideas

When it comes to lunch, many of my clients share that they feel stuck in a rut with the same go-to options such as sandwiches or frozen meals. It can be challenging to find new ideas that add variety and enjoyment without requiring extra prep time. Today, I’m sharing a few simple, balanced options to help refresh your lunch routine.

Remember, when putting together a balanced meal, it’s important to include a source of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fiber to help you stay full and energized throughout the day and avoid that afternoon slump.

Option 1: Snack Plate
Pick at least one item from each category:

• Protein: Chomps Sticks, Greek Yogurt, Cheese, Turkey Slices, Hard-boiled Eggs, Cottage Cheese

• Carbohydrates: Crackers, Chips, Pita Bread, Granola

• Fats: Cheese, Hummus, Nut Butter, Nutella, Olives, Nuts, Seeds

• Fiber: Fruits, Veggies

Option 2: Chicken Salad

• Protein & Fat: Premade Chicken Salad

• Carbohydrate: Crackers

• Fiber: Veggies such as Carrots or Celery

Option 3: Salad Kit

• Fat & Fiber: Salad Kit

• Protein: Shredded Rotisserie Chicken

• Carbohydrate: Crackers
