Easy Lunch Ideas?
 

I used to eat frozen Healthy Choice meals for lunch everyday, but I've stopped due to all the processed stuff in them (and high carb count). I've been eating Ezekiel bread with tuna or PBJ for lunch, or sometimes homemade soup/chili.
Anybody have any good lunch ideas that are easy?
What about good snack ideas? I like Ezekiel with PB, or a fruit smoothie with protien powder. I'm trying to stay away from the Balance bars because they are processed too.

lunches and snacks
 

Hi CaroleSP,
I hope you get this reply. Still not used to this way of communication.
You asked about easy lunches and snacks. I work at school so my lunch time is short and sometimes interrupted. This can be a blessing because then I don't have a lot of time to want more to eat.
My lunches, hoping they're 15 gms. or less:
*leftover chicken on a bed of salad greens, cukes, tomatoes with oil and vinegar dressing. 1/2 slice whole grain bread and butter.
*leftover beef roast made into a salad adding oil and vinegar and sliced onions to taste. Add this beef salad on top of salad greens, tomatoes, cukes, etc., 7or 8 grapes.
*ham and muenster cheese or cream cheese rollups. Raw baby carrots, celery. 1/2 slice whole grain bread and butter.1/2 cup fresh pineapple.
I make the lunch the night before. I add the dressing to the bottom of the tupperware or you can put the dressing in a separate container.
Some snacks 15 gms or less:
*celery sticks with almond butter on top. Limit a.butter to no more than 4 TBSP. If you want peanut butter, no more than 2 TBSP.
*23 almonds with 2 TBSP. raisins.
*Provolone cheese with no more than 23 almonds and !/2 small apple.

I hope this is some help to you. Let me know if you get this.
