Here is one of my favorite lunches!

In the middle of a busy workday, lunch is the longest break I take. It’s a time to reset, to relax, and to re-energize to tackle the tasks that lie ahead. Great healthy lunches are ones that I can make ahead and that will keep me full and focused throughout the afternoon. 

If there is one category of healthy lunches that I turn to the most, it’s salads. Salads are flexible and an easy way to pack in a serving of veggies in the middle of the day, and mix-ins like chicken, fish, herbs and nuts. Tips: roast the vegetables to make them more flavorful and fun to eat.

If you’re someone who’s concerned about getting enough protein at lunchtime, salads can be a great healthy lunch idea for you. Bulk up any salad with meat, fish, eggs or beans.
