I've been in a very long lunch rut.
Since working from home, figuring out a nutritious lunch has been challenging. I want something healthy so I don't feel bleh during my workouts, but filling so I have energy for my workouts.
When I worked in the office, there was a plethora of snacks and free Eat Club all at my daily disposal. Now, I feel like I need to meal prep for lunch and dinner. And with my low tolerance for leftovers, prepping food I know I'm going to get tired of after a few days makes it that much more difficult.
Enter: BOWLS. I know this is no ground-breaking phenomenon but... wow, bowls really are amazing. I've pretty much learned how to take things sitting in my fridge and throw them in a bowl and call that lunch. And it's delicious!!!
I try to include a good mixture of fat, protein, and carbs (veggies) in every bowl. And sometimes I'll add cheese or dressing (or both!) to keep it interesting. Here are few nutritious bowls that have been in the rotation lately:
