As our lives are increasingly busy, eating a healthy lunch is not always a priority, but Secret Ingredient can help you stay satisfied and fueled with our healthy lunches. A healthy meal in the middle of the day provides your body with essential fuel and keeps you refreshed, energized and ready to tackle the rest of your afternoon.
Getting back into a routine can be overwhelming after a few months of summer fun and relaxation. Suddenly your calendar and to-do lists are filled and you’re juggling back-to-school meetings and activities. Whether you’re packing your own or one for every kid in the house, you may face real challenges when thinking about the midday meal. Secret Ingredient refuses to allow you to pack the same old bland sandwiches, soggy salads, or boring soups. Our healthy lunches are exciting, satisfying, and portable for kids and adults.
Stay Satisfied and Fueled with Our Healthy Wraps
Are you tired of your usual sandwich? Add a little variety to your lunch-time routine with a healthy wrap. They are quick and easy to prepare and you can add your favorite veggies and protein. Wraps are a great way to get a complete and balanced meal onto your plate. Plus, they don’t require a lot of cleanup. Wraps are an easy way to get some extra servings of fresh vegetables into your diet. Just sauté, bake or eat raw any of your favorite vegetables and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper or your favorite salad dressing. Just be sure to keep your condiments low-calorie. Some of our favorites are hummus, salsa, balsamic vinaigrette or a yogurt-based salad dressing.
We love this Balsamic Roasted Vegetable Wrap. You have the freedom to add whatever ingredients you like. You can even customize them for every family member. Add chicken, fish, lean beef or tofu for a vegetarian option.
By using low-calorie and low-carb wraps. You can find these wraps in most grocery stores in the bakery section. Gluten-free options and a variety of flavors are also available in most grocery stores. Another great option is to use lettuce for the wrap like we do in our Salmon Lettuce Wraps with Pineapple Mango Avocado Salsa.
Stay Satisfied and Fueled with Our Salads
Salads are quick to throw together and great for transporting but it’s easy to get into a salad rut. If the idea of eating salads makes you start yawning, it’s time to perk up your salads with some color, texture and taste. We have been preparing this freshly made cobb salad for many of our clients. It is packed with protein, color and flavor. 
Who said salad has to have lettuce, we love this Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and basil, tossed with a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. Quinoa is a great gluten-free option and contains a higher amounts of protein to help you feel satisfied and full throughout the afternoon. It is a definitely a great alternative to rice.
Lastly, another great salad option is a chicken salad. There are many great low-calorie recipes out there that substitute the traditional mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. We love this recipe from FitFoodieFinds.com for their Simple Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad. They add cranberries, apples and lemon juice for a fresh flavor and crunch.
