Fiber and protein are two nutrients that help fill you up.
Pack some high-fiber high-protein ingredients in your lunch for work to keep you satisfied all afternoon.
But we prefer to keep things classic and simple with hummus, quinoa, avocado and loads of veggies!

Just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil is all it takes to dress it up.
Here, the richness of tahini tempers the spicy chile paste in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar soup recipe.
Serve with your favorite toppings–we like sour cream, salsa and hot sauce.
If you’re not a fan of cilantro, mix in freshly chopped basil or dill instead.
Or pack it up the night before for an easy grab-and-go lunch in the morning.
The extra dressing is delicious served with grilled vegetables.

Black Bean-Quinoa Buddha Bowl
Treat your Buddha bowl to a vacation south of the border!
Serve with toasted pita brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with dried oregano or za’atar.
Loading it with vegetables and using quinoa in place of rice adds nutrition for a healthy dinner.
Any extra dressing is delicious served over grilled chicken or flaky white fish, such as cod or flounder.
For an extra kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne.
But we cut the saturated fat in half and doubled the amount of healthy monounsaturated fat.

Buttermilk and a dash of rice vinegar add tang.
It’s no problem!
Simply layer black beans and Cheddar onto corn tortillas and toast in the toaster oven.
