Lately I’ve been on a real salad kick for lunches. There is so much great produce at the store these days and I just get mesmerized by all the bright colours. I can’t wait for the local farmers market to start up next month.
Its easy to eat healthy, but it isn’t always easy to chop up all those veggies in the morning, so I tend to chop up all the veggies I’m going to need for about 3 days and divide them up into individual salads using these great Ziploc Twist and Lock containers. All I need to do in the morning is grab my container of salad, a few pieces of fruit for a snack, maybe a muffin and I’m good to go.
My other favorite thing to have for lunch is SOUP! I love soup, and the more flavourful the better. I try to make it as often as possible from scratch to boost the nutrition and lower the sodium and fat levels. To save time, I make a big batch and freeze into 3 day portions in the Ziploc Twist and Lock containers (I seriously love these things). Here are a few of my favourite homemade soup recipes that I’ve posted here on SHBS:
