Sitting in a quick meals line for a fast gulp shouldn’t be my thought of a lunch break.
Once I can, I take pleasure in what I name a strolling salad. Meaning I can get some steps in whereas having fun with some wholesome bites. I breathe in nature, not fumes within the drive-through.
Ideas for the strolling salad container:
- Walnuts — Toasting sufficient for the week forward gives enhanced taste increase.
- Sliced apple — I minimize and slice halves and put them exposed-side down in my container. I’ve by no means had a difficulty with browning.
- Cubed cheese
- Sliced cumber/tomato/carrot
- Cottage cheese – within the nook can act as a dressing/dip
- Hummus
Create your walking-salad route and “go to city” with it.
