These vegetarian lunch ideas are a surefire way to start the week on a healthy note.
Pack several jars at once to take to work for easy lunches throughout the week.
Look for precooked lentils in the refrigerated section of the produce department.
The tangy, spicy slaw adds crunch.
Wrap these up to take as a healthy and portable lunch for work.
Get a serving of fruit too, when you enjoy the sandwich with a fresh pear.
Or double the recipe and use the hummus for a healthy snack with cut-up vegetables.
We love it for dinner as well as lunch.
Serve with tomato and cucumber salad.
Here it’s filled with mashed spiced black beans and a quick guacamole.
Serve with: Grilled corn on the cob or Spanish rice.
We love the crunch of the sunflower seeds and the unexpected flavor of roasted peppers.
Whole-Wheat Veggie Wrap
Use whichever veggies you have on hand to fill up this veggie wrap.
The avocado and hummus help hold the wrap together–and provide heart-healthy fat and fiber.
Healthy Detox Salad
Skip the cleanse and eat this instead.
Everything can be prepared ahead of time except the avocado.
