Every time we sit down to eat is an opportunity to fuel our bodies and infuse our lives with ingredients that support and beautiful food. And while we may have thought of breakfast as the most important meal of the day, nutrition and health professionals are increasingly focusing on lunch. In Ayurveda, it is believed that Agni– digestive fire – follows the pattern of the sun. What does that mean for your meal? Breakfast is prime time for a vibrant and colorful fruit bowl, favorite bottle, or warm cereal. And when the sun goes down, you’ll also start your day with another snack. Of course, right in the middle is lunch, when your digestive fire is strongest. It’s the perfect time to focus on getting enough nutrients on your plate. That’s exactly why I’ve put together 12 easy packet recipes that will help you get enough veggies, protein, and everything in between.
My equipment w&p ceramic porter bowl (I’ll never let the millennium pink die), I’m not one to shy away from saying my lunch is prepare meals yellow. On Sunday, I will spend an hour, put in playlistand prepare vegetables, cereals, sauces and the protein with a happy competitive energy. The results are lunches worthy of lunches Monday through Friday. But even the most diverse and vibrant bowl may age. When they do, I’ll switch to a good vintage wrap instead.
Full disclosure: The following recipes aren’t your all-inclusive, mayo-heavy ones. These easy-to-package recipes not only make it easy to hold a wide range of vitamin-rich ingredients in the palm of your hand, but they can also be assembled in just a few minutes. So whether your office is a car ride away or a few steps from your kitchen, you can feel confident in the wrap that awaits your arrival at 12pm. PS: If it’s the lettuce wraps you’re craving, we have all the recipes you need here.
