Lunches

Running out of lunch ideas? I’ve got you covered! When we’re in the middle of a workday, it can be easy to grab a filling lunch that is flavorful, tasty, and… overly processed. Fast food chains do especially well because they can provide busy professionals like you an expensive meal in minutes. 

Except, they’re not the healthiest options for you and your family. Filling up your body with nourishing food that’s healthy should be a priority if you want to be your best self. 

Here you’ll find simple, healthy lunch recipes that won’t burn a hole in your pocket or stomach. 

This wild ahi tuna bowl is an easy two-step meal that you can prepare the morning or the night before work. It’s packed with healthy fats, fiber and protein which will fuel you throughout the day. Major time-saver! 

One-skillet meals are my favorite fixes for lunch because of just that - you dump everything in a skillet and you have a proper meal! This lunch recipe for paleo veggie-packed shakshuka is one I’ll always look to when I need a healthy lunch, and quick. 

If you need another healthy recipe for lunch, I also love this roasted butternut squash sandwich that is vegan-friendly, filling and sweet!

Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blu Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blueberry zucchini almond butter shake is such a great way to get some veggies in! Thank you for this recipe @flora_and_vino 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp almond butter 
1 scoop vanilla protein (can use vegan protein or vanilla collagen).
1 cup frozen blueberries 
1 frozen zucchini (I steam it first, let it cool, then chop it & freeze it). 

Blenddddd baby! So creamy & delish!!
I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! De Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! Def a big hit w the girls!! 

First cut the crust off the bread (I used sprouted organic whole wheat) and then flatten with a rolling pin. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the bread, followed by thinly sliced banana (the banana just covering 1/4 of the bread), then roll up. Dip the entire rollup in egg & almond milk mixture (1 egg, 2 tbsp almond milk, cinnamon & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Cook on a frying pan over medium heat in coconut oil (or grass-fed butter). I heat up the frying pan a few min before placing the rollup on it. Cook for 2 - 3 min on each side. Drizzle some peanut butter on top & ENJOY! 

It’s a beautifullllll day here in South Florida, so planning to spend the rest of the day outside w the girls & Josh. Putting my phone away & being present in what’s REALLY important (which is the people you’re spending time with in REAL life), not scrolling mindlessly on social media - something I’m really working on! 🤍
