3. Lunch

The best lunches are nutritious and filling while also being simple and of course, delicious!

– Quinoa or Brown Rice Salads

As we mentioned already, low-GI foods facilitate a slow energy burn, as well as helping maintain stable blood sugar levels. This is important for mental health as energy highs and crashes certainly won’t help your mood.

This makes foods like brown rice and quinoa the perfect carb for lunch. Not only are they filling, but they also go really well with a variety of vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats like cheese and olive oil.

– Super Soups

Soup for lunch? Sounds boring, but when you really explore all the amazing options the humble soup has to offer, you’ll be spoiled for choice! Start with your favorite soups, then experiment with different textures, flavors, cuisines, and ingredients so that you can discover new favorites.

Not only do soups open up a world of flavor, but they also give you the opportunity to add healthy, nutritious ingredients into your meal in an all-in-one package. You can pack them with vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, gut-friendly ingredients, and so much more. A lunch like that is sure to keep you satiated for the rest of the day!
