If you see us on social media, you often see us going big when we eat. Sure, we definitely enjoy dining out and eating big, but most of our meals are pretty dang healthy. That’s how we can afford to eat whole pizzas or all-you-can-eat sushi! Fit works from home which means she typically has the pantry at her disposal. This can mean glory or disaster. Luckily, we keep a pretty clean pantry (ignore the sour candy that Fit stashed behind the electric beater), so there’s not many “bad” options to fall for. Still, she tries to decide what she’s going to eat for lunch at the beginning of the day, or better yet–at the beginning of the week.
On most days, you can find Fit in the kitchen (usually on a phone call or meeting), assembling her lunch. Yeah, I said assembling because she plays it smart. Fit’s go-to healthy lunch is half of a salad kit and a can of tuna. It takes under five minutes to whip up, even when she puts some flair into it! Salad kits are a blessing. Sure, they may not be quite as cost-effective as a huge tub of spinach and some carrots, but they have variety and make a healthy lunch delicious and easy. Making salads from scratch can be somewhat tedious with all the chopping. She usually waits until they’re on sale for like $2.99 and then buys a bunch for the week. And because she has a “baby belly,” she only needs half of one per lunch.
It’s so incredibly easy.
- Open salad kit.
- Pour half of salad kit into bowl.
- Add included toppings and any extras you get inspired to put in (you’ll usually find avocado in mine).
- Pour a quarter of the dressing onto the salad and mix.
- Put the drained contents of a tuna can onto salad. Pour another quarter of the dressing and mix into the tuna.
- Toss all together.
- (Optional if you’re feeling more hungry: make avocado toast, peanut butter toast, or cheese tortillas as a side to the salad)
Yeah man, THAT EASY. Look for these salad kits in your produce department. They’re usually all together. I’m telling you, once you go salad kits, you can never go back. They have been such a game changer. I enjoy it each lunch and I don’t feel bogged down at lunch time. Try different varieties to find your favorite and make sure to keep an eye out for a sale. Use salad kits to stay hungry and fit!
