Easy healthy lunch ideas
A good lunch does not need to be complicated. A simple formula and a little planning make it easy to eat well on a busy day.

Build a simple plate
Many people start with something filling, add a protein, then pile on vegetables. A grain bowl, a wrap or a big salad all follow the same pattern.
Cook once, eat twice
Make a pot of soup, a tray of roasted vegetables or a batch of grains and eat it for a few days. It is the easiest way to avoid a rushed, unplanned lunch.
Keep shortcuts in the pantry
Canned beans, tuna, hummus and pre-washed greens turn into a lunch in five minutes.
Keep your meals and routines in one place
Log meals, water and your daily rituals in one private journal. Free, no sign-up, and it stays on your device.
Open GlowsinceAdd color and crunch
Cucumber, peppers, shredded carrot or a handful of nuts make a plain lunch more satisfying.
Pack it so you will eat it
Food you prepared the night before is more likely to be eaten than a good intention. Keep it cold or warm in the right container.
