Lunch Break...Quick & Easy (of course!)
Like many my lunch breaks seem to involve work (not much of a "break"). With that said, I continue my quest for quick and easy lunch ideas. Lunch time is one of the areas I encourage my clients to increase their vegetable intake, and for me that can even be a challenge. Today's lunch was fabulous, under 10 minutes, and super nutritious! I hope you give it a try!
Ingredients:
1 pita bread
2 Tbsp hummus (I used the Trader Joe's Greek Style with lemon & herbs--delicious)
1/4 cup baby cilantro (you can try basil, parsley, or baby lettuce--your choice!!)
2 Tbsp 2% cheddar
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
1 box of Green Giant's Immunity Blend Veggies
Fruit Smoothie
1 cup cherries (frozen)
1 banana
1 1/2 cups fresh limeade (I just juiced 2 limes and added water--no sugar)
Directions:
Prepare sandwich--heat bread, top with cheese on one side, spread hummus on opposite side. Stack with herbs and tomatoes. Serve (2 minutes)
Microwave your veggie bag--4 minutes
Meanwhile, throw your fruit in a blender and mix for 2 minutes.
Yep, really that simple and truly a tongue pleaser!
