THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING A HEALTHY LUNCH
Eating a nutrient-packed lunch helps us avoid a mid-afternoon crash!
Skipping lunch leaves us starving by the time we get home from work or running errands. This leads to binge eating or the temptation to hit the drive-thru.
Taking time out of your busy day to eat lunch with a friend or co-worker helps you refresh and relationship build, two things that are great for our spirits!
So what should you eat to get the nutrition you need? The key to healthy lunches lies in two components: simplicity and the brown bag. Stock up on simple, nutritious ingredients and pack your lunch the day before.
In the age of slow cookers and one-pan wonders, monochrome meals have automated how we enjoy our meals. While the ability to get dinner out in one washable dish is worthy consolation, we often forget that comfort is baked — not only into the food — but also into the design of a bowl.
