Healthy Lunch Idea
Healthy Chicken Bowls
Looking for a healthy lunch idea? Here is the recipe for the best lunch ever. Simple and easy to make. This is my favorite lunch and I probably have it 3 times a week. Chicken bowls are packed with protein and vegetables. This is a great lunch to bring to work as well. You can even make a few bowls ahead of time for the week.
My Mediterranean chicken bowl can be made with different options depending on what you have in your fridge. Start with a base such as brown rice or quinoa. Add beans like black beans or garbanzo beans. Add grilled chicken (diced). Top with any vegetables you have on hand. One of my favorite recipes is made with chicken, quinoa, black beans, cherry tomatoes, sweet potato, cilantro and lime squeezed with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice, chopped garlic mixed with California olive oil.
You can also make an amazingly tasty chicken bowl with rice, garbanzo beans, chopped cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, topped with feta cheese, avocado, lemon garlic and olive oil.
Lunch Containers
Chicken bowls are a healthy lunch idea for feeling great. Whenever I eat healthy I feel so much better than if I were to grab fast food on the go. Having a healthy lunch prepared in a container with a lid is the way to go. To find containers for lunches like this check out Amazon. They have many options for lunch storage and convenience. It just makes life that much easier when you have a good container to make your lunches with and take with you on the go for work or school.
Here is the recipe for my favorite version of this healthy lunch idea.
