Work Lunches

So this is not as much as a recipe as it is an easy quick idea for work lunches. So many times I hear people say they just don't have time to make a lunch for work. I say that is bullshit and laziness. Here is what Walter and I do every day we work for a healthy lunch.

First I start the week by baking some chicken breasts variously seasoned. I put them in a tupperware dish and refrigerate. This is a good lean healthy protein to have for lunch and does not have to be heated up.

I then make a tasty salad. Mine usually consists of:
-Romaine lettuce (1/2 of one)
- 1/2 Avocado
- 1/2 tomato (when I have them)
- Sunflower seeds (if I am in the mood)
- One of my delicious homemade dressings.

Making this gives a good helping of veggies, the healthy fat (from the avocado and dressing) and your protein from chopping up the chicken and adding it to the salad.

Some might think that you will get bored eating the same thing everyday, but I really don't. You can change the protein to a can of tuna or make a fresh fish for it. Change the topping and dressings to whatever you want. It is healthy and fresh and good portion. It fits right into a plastic container and can fit in a lunchbox. The whole thing actually costs less than $2.00 to make. Save money, eat healthier! Win, win!

Here is what I made today. Romain with avocado and lemon pepper chicken with my cilantro dressing! Don't forget to ditch the soda and have refreshing water with it!
