Y’all have probably noticed that I’m finally truly making some strides on a healthier lifestyle, and I’m actually serious about it. I’m feeling a lot better when I’m working out often, and I’m even trying to improve my diet (FOR REAL THIS TIME!). I still have a long way to go but I always love hearing from y’all when I need inspiration or ideas. And since part of my lack of healthy eating usually stems from boredom of meals, I thought I’d ask y’all for your opinion.

Team BTD GO-To Healthy Lunch Ideas

Since I asked the BTD community for their healthy lunch ideas, I wanted to pull together all the responses so everyone could see. Because I’m sure I’m not the only one who struggles here, right?! Here’s the list – and thanks for everyone who submitted – y’all are the best!

Avocado Toast

I was shocked to hear how fancy slash creative y’all get with avocado toast and LOVE it because I freaking love avo toast. It’s such a quick easy lunch, and by sprucing things up, you could literally eat it everyday. Here were the toppings y’all suggested

• Fried/boiled/soft boiled/poached eggs
• Everything but the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s (SO good!)
• Trader Joe’s Chile/Lime Seasoning
• Tomatoes and mozzarella
• Red pepper flakes
• Arugula
• Red Onions
• Radishes
• Cucumbers
• Feta
• Chicken

Green salads with chicken

Basic, I know, but when you’re wanting to be healthy – it’s simple. Make things more fun with these toppings:

• Avocado
• Cheese (feta, cheddar, goat, cotija, etc)
• Kale
• Spinach
• All veggies, basically
• Pomegranate seeds, sunflower seeds
• Nuts
• Dried fruit
• Bell peppers

Chicken salad

Make it healthy topped over butter lettuce with either mayo or Greek yogurt!

Veggies with dips

This is such a Brighton lunch – I love a good snack turned lunch when you add some protein. I’ll add some whole wheat pita bread too.

• Guacamole
• Hummus
• Carrots
• Celery
• Bell peppers
• Cucumber
• Tzatziki sauce

Wraps

Yum! I want to start making more of these.

• Low carb tortillas or sandwich wraps
• Hummus or tzatziki sauce
• Red Onions
• Bell peppers
• Chicken salad
• Tuna or tuna salad
• Lettuce

Quinoa Bowls

Lots of people seemed to love these. Here are a couple good mixes!

• Chicken sausage, kale + feta
• Arugula + roasted sweet potato
• Black beans, feta, avocado +vinaigrette

Fruit

If you had a big breakfast or are planning a big dinner, mix fruit with something below:

• Cottage cheese
• Greek Yogurt
• Almond butter (specifically apples)

Ground turkey bowls

Love this idea and do it a lot myself. Here are 4 options that honestly all sound good.

• With tomatoes, corn, olives and Mrs. Dash Taco Seasoning Mix, avocado, brown rice or black beans
• With sautéed mushrooms & asparagus, over brown rice with avocado
• With sweet potatoes and veggies with TJ’s Lime Chile Seasoning

Peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat toast or English muffin

Smoothie

What else y’all?? I need all the ideas I can get!! Please comment if you’ve got any great go-to options!
