Back to Basics: Healthy Lunch Recipes with Coach SheriAnne

Join us every other Tuesday on Facebook Live for Back to Basics Health & Wellness webinars with Coach SheriAnne.

On Tuesday, May 24, Coach SheriAnne discussed five of her go-to healthy lunches -- the recipes for which are below:

***
Greek Yogurt Egg Salad Sandwich
Hearty Seed/Wheat Bread, mixed greens topped with Greek yogurt Egg Salad - mix some greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and thinly sliced red onion. Then add chopped hard boiled eggs. Serve with sliced carrots.

Chicken Salad
Mixed greens topped with shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken, avocado slices, heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper slices, radishes and topped with a homemade vinaigrette (olive oil, seasoned rice vinegar, garlic, oregano, & pepper).  Add your favorite slice of hearty bread to finish it off.

Lettuce Wrap
Baby Romaine Lettuce leaves filled with shredded chicken, cheese, avocado, and red bell pepper slice. Can dip into a vinaigrette or dip to add flavor if you wish. 

Bento Box
Hummus, carrots, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, greek olives (or cheese for an alternative healthy fat), crackers of choice.  You can add salame if you wish.

Power (aka Macro or Buddha) Bowl
Hearty grain such as wild rice and quinoa, garbanzo beans (or bean of choice), avocado, mixed greens, heirloom tomatoes, bell pepper slices. Top with a light vinaigrette, preferably a homemade one.

Remember to have fun and try new things.  Also meal prepping will help prevent you from making the less healthy fast food choice or skipping meals. Wash and slice veggies ahead of time.

Be mindful of your choices, no need to deprive yourself.  Make as many healthy choices as you can. 

Enjoy the process!
