Healthy lunch ideas

[Raquelita]

Pita pockets are fun to have for lunch - you can stuff them with sliced veggies and spread the insides with hummus and then add something like crumbled cheese or chicken strips.

I love to ziploc a bag of baby carrots (already peeled) and add garlic flavored balsamic vinegar with a twinge of sugar. If the vinegar doesn't have garlic in it you can either leave it out or add a bit of garlic powder. I also love to add some cucumber slices as well. Yum---healthy substitute for the crunch factor that you get from high calorie "chips".

Every day I have a fat free turkey(4 oz) sandwich on light wheat bread with 1 oz of "WOW" chips (these are fat free also)

When I'm looking at eating healthy lunches my thinking turns to salads. Since right now is the peak of vegetable growing in the US, there's lots of delicious tomatoes, cucumbers, etc that are only available locally right now. So I'd say, nice tomato, cucumber, chick pea and onion salad with Italian dressing, and a side of whole wheat pasta salad made with Salad Supreme would be a nice healthy and tasty lunch. Buy the vegetables locally so they still have their flavor intact.

I only buy 90% or higher ground beef, or lean ground turkey ... not the regular ground turkey. The meat people alway toss scrap fat into the meat when they can. We prefer whole wheat buns for Sloppy Joes.

Apples are a great food for lunch along with a small salad and a nice piece of an interesting bread like pumpernickel.

How about an egg sandwich? Has anyone seen that commercial about how good eggs are? I'm going to start eating more eggs.
