When Your Lunch Needs to Do More Than Just Hold You Over
Lunch doesn't have to be enormous to be satisfying — but it should give your body something substantial enough to carry you through the rest of your day.
Combining protein, fiber-rich vegetables, carbohydrates and healthy fats can make a simple wrap feel much more complete than grabbing a small snack and hoping it gets you through the afternoon.
And because this one is portable, it can also be prepared ahead for days when you know you'll be busy.
Healthy eating becomes much easier when the convenient option is already the good option.
