Lunch

Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or planning the menu for a casual luncheon with friends, this collection of healthy lunch recipes has you covered.

From hearty, heartwarming soups like ground turkey soup and homemade chicken soup for the colder months to cold avocado soup and cold cucumber cottage cheese soup to beat the summer heat, there’s a soup recipe for every season.

To round things out, why not make it a soup-and-salad lunch combo with satisfying salads, such as my spinach strawberry salad or Mediterranean quinoa salad?

Or, go with easy, high-protein options like meatballs without breadcrumbs, yogurt-marinated chicken kebabs, or my famous vegan quinoa chili.

With so many options, lunch might just become your new favorite meal of the day!
