A quick, easy and nutritious lunch is a non-negotiable for me. A wholesome lunch supports your body and energy levels throughout the afternoon. Taking the time to prepare and eat a nutritionally balanced lunch can mean you avoid the 3pm energy slump (not to mention the sugar cravings that come with it!). Try these 3 quick lunch options for a good dose of nutrition and energy to nourish your body!
- Eggs and Greens: What is easier than throwing 2 eggs on the fry pan with what ever greens are in the fridge. Beans, Peas, Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Beetroot stems.. throw it all in! Cook in a fry pan with Coconut Oil and, add some Cumin and Turmeric to taste – Delish! Pair with a Paleo bread to keep you satiated all afternoon.
- Hummus and Salad wrap: Choose a Wholegrain wrap (Rye or Spelt are low GI options – I use Mountain Bread Wraps. If gluten is out then choose a Coconut wrap or gluten free wrap) and slather with a generous amount of Hummus (hello protein) and Avocado (because good fats are key) then add Salad veggies like grated Carrot, Beetroot, Cucumber, Capsicum or Sprouts. Roll up and roll on with your day energised!
- Brown Rice Salad: Make up a batch early in the week to have on hand for lunches. You can find the recipe for ‘Mon’s Moroccan Rice Salad’ by clicking here. Eat with big handful of fresh Lettuce leaves drizzled with Apple Cider Vinegar and Olive Oil. Lunch done!
