Lunch
Spinach and kale salad
Add apples, sliced strawberries, walnuts to leafy greens, then drizzle a balsamic vinaigrette.
Chickpea salad
Add diced cucumbers, red onion, parsley, and a lemon-tahini dressing. I enjoy raw, red onion in mine, plus some pepper flakes.
Quinoa and black bean bowl
Add in roasted sweet potatoes and roasted carrots; corn and cilantro-lime dressing pair well.
Quinoa salad
Enjoyable on a warm day, add cucumbers, tomatoes, and a lemon-tahini dressing to a bowl of chickpeas and cooked quinoa.
Whole grain wrap
Fill with hummus, roasted red peppers, spinach, and sliced turkey or a plant-based protein alternative. I enjoy mine toasted in the air fryer.
Whole grain pita pockets
Stuff with falafel or toasted tofu, lettuce, cucumber, and a tahini sauce.
Spinach and arugula salad
Get creative with the additions! Walnuts, sunflower seeds, and cashews all add protein. Apples and (sugarless) cranberries add sweetness. I enjoy drizzling olive oil on top with a pinch of salt.
