It might sound silly to call this a “recipe.” But so many people miss the opportunity to create the easiest, yummy, healthy meal when you have little time or energy. There is almost no excuse to not eat a healthy lunch when you can whip this together in less than 5 minutes. It’s my top go-to meal for workday lunches.
INGREDIENTS
- any green vegetable, fresh or cooked
- any protein such as meat or beans or tofu
- if you feel like having a carb, any form of potato works well
METHOD
- Put on plate or in a bowl.
- Pour over dressing.
- You’re done.
If you’re thinking, this is not enough food for me, then just hop on over to my Complete Salad recipe here.
If you want ideas for yummy healthy salad dressings, I’ve got lots of dressing ideas for you here.
If you want a healthy lunch option for work, mix everything except the dressing into a large tupperware, put the dressing into a small liquid jar that fits in the tupperware, and when you’re ready to eat, pour all the dressing, put on the lid, mix mix mix, and you’re meal is done.
The important part of eating healthy is not the food preparation or the cooking. It’s quite literally just bringing home real, whole foods.
The simplest food checklist to meet your basic needs is:
- some kind of greens
- any veggies you love
- potatoes or squash
- grains like rice or quinoa or steel cut oats
- your favorite protein options like:
- cooked beans
- organic sprouted tofu
- animal or fish protein
