36 Healthy Snack and Lunch Ideas

Greetings lovely Vixen!  
Finding healthy snack and lunch options can the "make or break" of you staying on track.  I can vividly remember a day that I felt uninspired by my lunch that day and somehow convinced myself that I deserved the 7 pound burrito from my favorite Mexican food restaurant.  Or course I ate it, and felt like shit (FOOD COMA).  I realized that if I don't plan out my (delicious and easy) lunches and snacks, my decisions are left to my hungry brain and the results are never good. ​

Print this out and keep it on your fridge for quick access.  I also make sure to create a snack and lunch section in my meal plans so I'm sure to pick some of these items up at the store or farmer's market.  Happy chowing!! 

1. Snack packs- sliced carrots, bell peps, radish, cucumber and jicama 
2. Wraps- turn any sandwich into a wrap with lettuce 
3. Big fat salads with leftover meat 
4. Deli meat stuffed bell peppers (the bell is the "bread!")
5. Apple and turkey or ham sandwiches- the apples are the bread, great with mustard Apple slices and almond/cashew butter 
6. Cucumber sandwiches with tuna- the cucumber is the bread 
7. Carrots and almond/cashew butter- great for dipping Sardines and bell pepper slices- I like the sardines in marinara 
8. Marinated tomato slices (balsamic and EVOO) and basil 
9. Hardboiled eggs with spice packets- use foil and wrap up salt and pepper
