Wellness Wednesday: My Favorite Healthy Lunch Recipes

Hi, friends- Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share some of my favorite healthy lunch recipes today! I get lots of questions about what I eat and people looking for new lunch inspiration.

Lots of my lunches are just different items added together in varies ways without a specific recipes but I will try to break it all down for you guys! I will also list my favorite dressing I will talk a lot about in the recipes, my favorite homemade salsas and how I make my buffalo chicken.

Fresh Steamed Broccoli Bowl:

Fresh Steamed Broccoli topped with ground turkey (I make a batch for the week), Buffalo Sauce, Ranch and Light Feta Cheese

Buffalo Chicken Bowl:

Sautéed Sweet Potato, Steamed Broccoli, Grilled Chicken, Yogurt Ranch, Buffalo Sauce, Avocado, and Everything but the Bagel Seasoning.

Easy & Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Soup:

Ingredients: 3 chicken breasts, 2 cans white beans rinsed and drained, 4 jalapeños, bunch of cilantro, 7-8 cups of chicken broth, avocado for toppings.

Add 1-2 jalapeños (sliced in half), chicken broth, and chicken breasts, chopped cilantro into a large pot and put a lid on the pot. Turn the heat to medium to low and let simmer for 60 mins.

Remove chicken from broth and shred with fords – return to chicken to broth. Add in beans, and more chopped cilantro (as much as you like).

Bring the soup to a simmer and serve hot with lots of fresh jalapeños slices, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, lime wedge and avocados. You can add sour cream too.
