4 Easy Healthy Lunch Bowls

Why is it that lunches can feel like the hardest meal to decide on? Maybe that’s just us, but a healthy mid-day meal is what provides nutritional power to get through the rest of the day’s activities. It helps balance blood sugar levels and gives the brain fuel to navigate whatever you need to accomplish (whether you’re folding laundry, planting herbs, sorting spreadsheet data, returning emails, or building a hen house for raising chickens). A good lunch does a body good.

Here’s four easy healthy lunch bowls we love! Our friend Christy, created these delicious recipes and made us smile serving them in our Farmhouse Mediterranean Style Ceramic Bowls. 😊 She makes a lot of gorgeous recipes and is enjoying a farmstead lifestyle with a focus on “farm to table” goodness. You can check out her inspiring feed here at The Styled Porch.

BOWL 2:

• Cooked String Beans

Garden fresh looking goodness! Packed with protein, the chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) add great texture to this fresh feeling salad.

When it comes to dill, you can use fresh or freeze dried. Freeze dried herbs allow the plant's cell structure to remain open and when they’re later added to recipes, the moisture makes the herb come alive with vibrant color, aroma, and fresh flavor!

If you’re really in a rush and need a bottled dressing with clean ingredients, try these tasty salad dressings.

BOWL 3:

• Fresh Cilantro
• Cooked Lentils

Just four ingredients for a filling lunch full of legumes you'll love.

Did you know using sprouted lentils makes the vitamins and nutrients more absorbable by your body? That way you can get maximum nutrition out of this superfood! If you cook up a large pot of lentils on the weekend, you can store them in the fridge for many healthy meal uses throughout the week.

(Yes, even though it’s technically a seed). 😉
